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 over the years has varied a lot each school year. My first year started online. Despite the circumstances our school administration made it amazing. The rest of the years have been very memorable. What I would like to see change is the way the school handles situations.

East Leyden is a great high school. There are lots of different resources and activities for all students to get involved in. This helps the students find their passion and allows them to set up a plan for after high school and beyond.
