GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

With my experience at East high school I loved the diversity of extra curricular activities and sports. East high school definitely takes pride in being diverse and accepts everyone for who they are. One thing I want to see change about the school is the involvement in the community only a few programs involve with community service and it would benefit the school to be more involved in the community. The only other thing I would change is the food because the food is not very appealing or pleasant to eat.

Academics are important, but it should not overpower the importance of ones sense of self. It's hard to lose that, which I have in my sophomore and part of my junior year.

It would be a pretty good school if they would quit putting kids in detention for being 1 minute late for class. More kids are in detention then in class. The teachers threaten kids with the cops. Cops that are in the school all day if the student doesn't obey. If they don't go to detention they get...
