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.

My experience at East Lyme Highschool has been very impactful to where I stand now academically and for how ready I am for the next steps of my life. The East Lyme school system has supported my need for extra help in my academics and pushed me to grow along the way.

The best part of my high-school experience was going to Europe over spring break with some of my teachers. I also had many cool field trips, ziplining in P.E, AP classes, dual enrollment classes, class for EMT certification, offers seal of billiteracy, amazing counselors and teachers, and a great library/resource center. The school could do better at communicating with parents and it is not very ethnically diverse.

The best part are the teachers and how they help so many students. The worst part is the food and how unsanitatry the school can be at times.

They were always supported, they learned a great deal over the years socially, educationally, and...

Certainly not a bad school. Definitely NOT a great one (unlike what people in town like to believe)! A grade of 6/10 or 7/10 is about right. Better than the utterly mediocre ELMS. Neighboring Old Lyme HS is better but other HS in the area are similar to ELHS or worse. The district as a whole does no...

I do not agree with the previous comment about not emphasizing math and science. Both my daughter and son graduated from ELHS and won scholarships to Purdue University where they studied Earth Science and Chemistry. My daughter's teachers adapted the math curriculum to fit her advanced knowledge res...
