Eastside College Preparatory School is located in East Palo Alto, California. Founded in 1996, Eastside celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. The school was created with a mission to serve students from underserved communities and help them become the first in their families to attend a four-year college.
Eastside was established as an independent high school committed to helping low-income, first-generation students prepare for and succeed in four-year colleges. Over the years, the school has expanded its support model based on the needs of its students as they progress through college and begin their professional careers.
