It is a shame to see how for Cherry Hill East has fallen from the turn of the century as it is no longer the best high school in Cherry Hill as Camden Catholic has far surpassed it over the last two decades. The school facilities are aging and in need of repair and academics, while still good, now cater to the top 5 % of the class resulting in a very middling education for the other 95% of students. The school is still rather crowded and need of new administration.

I like the amount of AP courses and advanced/honor classes available to take. The teachers are generally very nice and the school has a competitive academic culture.

I overall have enjoyed my time at Cherry Hill East. The Staff is extremely helpful with prepping it's students for college. I have grown significantly as a person and student through my experiences at East. I believe the school is improving in its student involvement and overall the happiness of the student body has improved over the last couple of years. Because of Cherry Hill East I feel very prepared for college and I'm excited to show what I've learned from High school at the college I attend.

The only thing good about this school is the learning aspect. My family moved to cherry hill for a good education and school for me this by far was worse than my other school on every aspect but the learning.
