Eastern High School is a great school, the teacher are very willing to stop what they're doing to help you if needed or teach you anything that you might find challenging. Eastern High School really cares about the students education and the safety of the students they're always will to let the students take part in any activities that are dealing with the school . Over all if anyone asked me if they should go to Eastern High School I 100% recommend them too everyone here is like a big family.

I think the school is pretty average. I like the food this year (2019-2020) and I think it has improved since the past two years. I like the new biotechnical program and it gives students good opportunities. We also have a new program for Juniors and Seniors to have school later in the day so they can do things like work before school.

Came from small Catholic school. Eastern has a lot to offer for an inner city school. 2+2+2 program a Godsend. The AP/IB program includes a diverse cirriculum. There are several languages taught, a wide variety of electives available and a diverse group if people who seem to get along.
