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.

I loved Bellevue East High School. I felt like all of the teachers truly cared about me and I enjoyed learning each subject. I think it was a good environment to be in. The worst part of my experience was probably the transition from middle school to high school freshmen year. The teachers did not help us acclimate as much as I would have liked. I also thought some of our sports teams could have been a bit more successful, but other than that a great school.

Hello I graduated at Bellevue East high School in 2014 I transferred from New Jersey to some trouble issues growing up. My freshman year in high school I skipped algebra 1 went to algebra 2 in Nebraska they made me retake algebra 1 in order to graduate high school. I should have been in pre calculus my sr year. Unfortunately that just shows the fairy big diversity of learning skills now. My son isn't even learning cursive in middle school. It's really sad.

The school is what you would consider, poor. The administration doesn't like students and does not allow them to voice their opinions. The school is also very nasty, old, and is in a desperate need for a renovation.

So many kids were unhappy and didn’t want to go to school at all. The bullying by students and staff members was a daily ritual. Nothing inspiring about this school except it’s a great candidate for a show like Bar Rescue except call it School Rescue. Our kids deserve better than what this school is...

My son loved going to to East. We were worried since it's rated low but he has had a great experience here. The teachers have always communicated with me when I've emailed them.

I have two students attending East and they LOVE it! The staff is caring and willing to spend extra time before or after school when they need help. They don't get overloaded with homework, but have some outside work and have to study for their tests. One of my students, was very involved in sports...
