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.

Appleton East had great teachers and clubs that helped me grow, but the experience depended too much on which classes or staff you had. Some students were treated unfairly, and mental health support felt limited. I'd like to see more consistent teaching, better student support, and stronger efforts toward inclusivity.

Overall, this is an amazing school. I have grown and learned so much from my time at Appleton East and am certainly going to miss it. I love the community of students and the clubs we have. Our college readiness may not be overly high, but the classes are still fun.

I've enjoyed my time at Appleton east. The teachers are great and I am close with a lot of them. I've never had a bad teacher that I didn't like. The one part I don't like in our school is the athletics. Our athletics are not good, administration doesn't really care about it. For example, it's hard to use the athletic facilities at the school because they're either locked or we get kicked out right away and they are just not up to par with the other schools around the area.

The problem we have had is that my son is enrolled in the charter school at East High School (Tesla Engineering). He loves the classes and the staff at Tesla and they are wonderful! The downside is the classes he has to take at East High School. His Spanish teacher was a nightmare last year. This ye...
