After being in a wonderful school my daughter had to move to this school, which I am very disappointed that my own daughter listen to some teachers who have a very bad way to talk to several students being this a very bad example for students and leaves teachers in a very bad reputation.Even the school environment is very bad.

The school is horrible. The principal Anne Brinkley tries to bully and intimidate students into learning. When they didn't respond in 2010-2011, she took 67 of them to the cafeteria and had them sit for just a week with no instructional activities at all. That of course didn't work so she started pulling students from electives. Later she even started taking them to the School Resource Officer and threatening to press charges against them. She had close to 100 students lined up outside his office where they were guarded. What's worst is that Brinkley blames everything on the teachers for not being able to keep the students engaged in learning. She is known to threaten the jobs of the teachers right in front of students. Brinkley went as far as to threaten to write teachers up for writing referrals because in her mind the referrals were a sign of the teachers inability to engage the students in learning. Brinkley has turned working at Eastway into an absolute nightmare that can not end soon enough.

Academically, the school ranks in the bottom ten percentile of all North Carolina middle schools. I enrolled my child there and she was a victim of much bullying. At the end of the school year she was pushed and broke her leg so I have taken her out and placed her in a new school for the upcoming school year. When I sought to address that my child was being bullied, the principal was very rude to me. I was completely appalled by the lack of professionalism. My daughter was miserable the entire time that she attended the school.There were little if any incentives to engage the students in learning and the principal constantly treated my daughter and other children of the school as if they were all criminals. I would not recommend Eastway Middle school to anyone.
