East Side is located at 3850 Roswell Road, approximately 2 miles from Princeton Corners.  It serves children from Kindergarten through the 5th grade.  With many activities involving the entire family, East Side Elementary provides a solid foundation for the early years of education.

Ranked as one of the best elementary schools in Georgia, East Side students continously rank high in standardized tests. 

East Side first opened with 314 students in the fall of 1952, when much of Cobb county was very rural.  School folklore says that the the principal would have to chase the cows off the playground before students could go out for recess.  Today East Side has 1,040 students in a remodeled 77,918 square feet of space.

Funded by a 1% Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) approved by the voters of Cobb County in a referendum held in September, 2008, East Side Elementary will be opening its newly-build school in mid-August 2011.  The new school is constructed on the existing school site and will occuply the play fields behind the existing school.  The existing buildings will remain in place untjl the new facility is completed and will then be demolished to make way for parking for the new school.

The new school will be 149,892 square feet as compared to 77,918 square feet for the old school.  The building will consist of three floors, with kindergarten through second grades on the lower floors, and third, fourth, and fifth grades occupying the upper floors.
