It's a decent school, although it has gotten stricter every year since my freshman year. The teachers are alright, you just have to pray you get a good one every year.

My experience with East Aurora high school has been good for the most part, but like any other school it can have a lot of Improvement. I believe staff is hard to get a hold of when needed after school help or even simple things like mental health issues. Safety of the school is okay as well, always prepared and ready to keep their student safe. I love the opportunities that are given to the student, for example taking college courses for dual credit. This experience has made me wanna pursue college even more.

The best part about my school is having amazing teachers and coaches that care about you and don't look at you as a grade instead they look at you as a person and help you out with anything. While their all a lot of good things from my school there are also some bad things such as kids getting into fights and the issues not being fixed.

Don't let a few sour grapes dissuade you from this fine school. The teachers are well educated, extremely dedicated and have the necessary resources to provide a superior education. This is public school and there will be those who do not want to learn. However, the vast majority of the students are...
