Eastside High School is a public school in East Gainesville, FL, USA. It was opened in 1970 and is managed by the Alachua County School District, Florida.
It is located in an economically underdeveloped neighborhood, and is home to two magnet programs: the Institute of Culinary Arts and the area's only International Baccalaureate program.
Reputation: Eastside is consistently ranked among the top 50 of America's high schools by Newsweek magazine, due to the number of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate tests it administers to students every year. Newsweek claims that their rankings indicate which schools are America's "best," but some argue that the use of this qualifier is misleading. In an effort to clarify what the rankings actually mean, the Washington Post chose to state that the rankings actually denoted not the "best" American high schools, but rather the "most challenging" American high schools.
In 2004, Eastside's Institute of Culinary Arts was ranked first in the state of Florida and second in the United States.
In 2005, Eastside was ranked fourth in the nation by Newsweek magazine. This ranking was based on an index computed by dividing the number of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate tests taken by students by the number of graduating seniors.
In 2006, Eastside was ranked 6th in the nation's high schools by Newsweek Magazine.
Eastside consistently has top ranked athletics. Their girl's basketball team placed second in the state in 2004-2005, and the boy's basketball team was first in state in the 2005-2006 season.
Eastside has a top-notch robotics team that competes internationally in the FIRST Robotics Competition and has been in operation since 2000.
In 2006, the Eastside Rams won the class 5A Florida Basketball Championship. Sophomore Dante Anderson won the Tournament MVP. It was coach Herman William's first championship and was the first in school history.
Eastside has placed first in le Congrès de la Culture Francaise en Floride thirteen times since 1991, including in 2006.
