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.

Overall, this is an amazing school. I have grown and learned so much from my time at Appleton East and am certainly going to miss it. I love the community of students and the clubs we have. Our college readiness may not be overly high, but the classes are still fun.

I feel like the district and school has done a terrible job at getting us ready for college, because of the grading system we had for 2 years coming out of Covid, and the rules for late work and deadlines were very lenient allowing me and everyone else to be lazy. Other than that I've enjoyed meeting new people throughout the school and enjoyed my time here.

The problem we have had is that my son is enrolled in the charter school at East High School (Tesla Engineering). He loves the classes and the staff at Tesla and they are wonderful! The downside is the classes he has to take at East High School. His Spanish teacher was a nightmare last year. This ye...
