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.

It's a very good school I've had a great time all 4 years, it's not hard to meet new people and make new friends. All of the clubs from what I have seen are very welcoming. There have been many safety concerns in the past though I haven't had any concern outside of that. It is full of incredible teachers who are dedicated to their students and their jobs.

I've been at East High School for all four years and I've loved it. There's so much school spirit and it helps students prep for college as well as the future. I'd recommend East to any incoming students who want to grow as people and better understand themselves through learning.

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.
