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 attended East High School for all four years—even though, at first, I wasn't even supposed to be there. I got in by mistake, but looking back, I can confidently say it was the best mistake of my life. East helped me embrace who I am and sparked my passion to make a difference in the world. While others may look down on our school, they'll never understand the spirit that makes East feel like home. The bonds, the love, the connections—they're unforgettable. Once a Tiger, always a Tiger.
