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.

East High School was an experience filled with history and love, regardless of the challenges faced. The community is loving and strong and when you go to East, it becomes part of you. The only negative experiences I had were because of other students- staff could do a bit better when it comes to dealing with negative student-on-student interactions- or because of the location (on Colfax, somewhat exposed) but they do their best to make up for that with their security.

Despite a lot of adversity, East has been a really great place to study. I plan to encourage my younger siblings to attend too. I have met some of the most passionate teachers and learned so much.

My experience at East has been a wonderful time. At East there is a variety of classes you could take. Also at East there is a lot of support, so once I graduate I know what I will do after. The diversity is really good and since we are on Colfax a busy road. We experience a lot of real world situations not just like private schools who aren't used to stuff like that.

If your kid get bullied or threatened at East, don't expect the school to do anything. My son was threatened by a school mate along with 2 other students. The school told us to report to the police because it happened outside campus. They knew who threatened my son but they didn't care. The way the...

They are very rude at east high school. They don't introduce you to anyone there or even show you around the school.
