History
Eastside Prep was founded in May 2002 by a group of parents and educators. These parents hoped to create a school that was academically rigorous and engaging[citation needed]. The school opened its doors in September 2003 with 16 students in grades six and seven, along with three full-time and one part-time faculty. In 2004, the school maintained 100% retention of its students and faculty and gained an additional 31 students for a total of 45.[citation needed] In 2005, the school had 81 students in grades 6-9 and had acquired 4 buildings at their location. Eastside Prep has expanded each year, adding students, faculty, administrators and buildings and in 2009-2010 enrolled over 170 students in grades five through twelve. In the 2011 school year the school had 55 employees, and 240 students in grades five through twelve.[1][4]
Athletics
Eastside Prep's athletic programs have recently began to develop. The following sports are offered. In the 2012-2013 school year nearly 70 students participated in the basketball program while the Upper School Boys Ultimate Team barely missed the playoffs. Although the school does not have a gym students practice at local fields and gyms. In 2012 the Eagles joined the Emerald City 1A athletic conference competing against The Bush School, The Overlake School, Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences, University Prep, The Northwest School, the Annie Wright School and the Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart.
