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 transferred to EHHS my Junior year. I chose EHHS because of the teachers and overall inclusive culture. The involvement and commitment of the students and staff played a major role in my decision. There is a small, down home, rural atmosphere that appealed to me. I would love to see more funding for the school. With more resources, I believe EHHS could have a huge positive impact on more students and the community.

I've enjoyed my four years at east. I believe East has incredible student involvement and communication with students. The teachers work hard to provide us with a great education and most go out of there way for a student who just needs extra support. Twenty percent of East students are homeless and East has a grant so every student is able to eat breakfast. We have an amazing community and amazing staff. The only thing I would change is more resources; like calculators and text books.

East Henderson High school has a friendly atmosphere. The staff and the building make students feel safe. Every student takes pride in being an eagle. An example is during games even when we lose we still cheer for our team. I do wish that more information about college classes were more accessible. There were classmates that graduated with an associate because they knew about these collages classes.
