"Charter or private school??!! I am very disappointed and suspect of this "charter" school. First of all, look at where the school is located and compare this to the student population . . . not quite equitable. I think I know why the majority of the student population is white (and yes, I'm white myself), again not a representation of the school's neighborhood. The school gives preference to families with German background, then its employees and then try to navigate through the schools website for enrollment information and procedures, good luck with this one! Do they offer help to LOCAL families that don't use or have computer/ internet access? How about kids that are English Language Learners? This sounds like a typical private school filtering process if you ask me. Wow, you guys are pretty smart! You basically have a private school scheme going with public school funding!!!!! Smart but not very ethical. I don't really like my property taxes going to a school like this one!"

"Yes, there IS racial tension at AEA. You have kids from all backgrounds represented here and it happens because we are all human. It is a really good school though! The IB school philosophy is strong and offers students a wonderful education. About half the kids are in Spanish and half in German. About 99% of the teachers are great and really care about kids. There is much more parent involvement in the primary school that drops off dramatically in middle school--it is an unfortunate fact. A large influx of new students into middle school brings with it some discipline issues that haven't been addressed all that well. A great school to be involved with."

"I'm sorry to hear that the person below had a negative experience at Einstein. I, however, am going to contradict what that person said. Einstein is a huge hub of IB enthusiasts and German speakers, but it embraces all sorts of languages, races, and communities. The Spanish program is just as present on campus as the German program, and it opens up all people to new walks of life. The diversity is CRAZY. It's quite amazing, actually. There's Blacks, Whites, Asians, Hispanics and there's absolutely NO racial tension whatsoever, so I'm wondering if the person below actually spent that much time at Einstein. Any parent who doesn't recognize the greatness of this school is clearly out of touch and not present in their child s education. Einstein is, in my opinion, the greatest school in San Diego. I miss it dearly and am thrilled about the upcoming high school. The administration here is also very wonderful."

"My opinion of this schools performance is it's on its way to become a good school, but it is just not there yet. I know it is a German Based school, but it can use a lot more diversity in the student and teacher body along with the curriculum. The only culture they embrace is german culture, while there are many other cultures at the school to be celebrated. I do believe there is a racial issue between the students, but the teachers, staff, and principal refuses to address the problem. If those problems were addressed, they can be the IB school the strive to be."
