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 wish there were more readily available AP Classes, but I am grateful for the opportunities given to me by this school. The community of kids is great, and I have had a good experience.

East Lansing High School has provided an amazing high school experience for me. I love the fact that you can creatively express yourself and the administration is open to ideas to make the culture better. The sporting events are fun and create a sense of unity in the school. Academically ELHS offers many different opportunities in different subjects. I have felt supported and it has been a great experience. I think they could improve on some of the issues that we have faced in the past few years. Student safety with fights and weapons has been something that needs to be addressed and it has improved. I would like to see more open communication between students with the administration. I would also like to see more equal support for girls' sports or not as popular sports.

I hated this school. They heavily discriminated against me because I'm a slightly overweight male. If you were a slightly overweight girl, there were no problems. Nobody should have to suffer so much for a few extra pounds!!

Terrible. It's supposed to be the one of the best schools in Michigan. However, I guess a good education consists of 7 hours of fill in the blanks homework every day. The math department has declined since I was here and the teachers just read out of the book and can't answer simple questions. At th...
