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 has been unique. I came into school as a freshman over zoom. We got the end of the stick, but we made the most of it. Before high school, I had joined my middle school show choir and I decided to join in high school too. After the first year, I was in love with the people and experiences I got from it. After my second year, I got an attitude change and almost didn't audition for my junior year. Eventually I realized I was just scared and it taught me that when you're scared, it's just another reason to try harder and go for it. That's what I did; I auditioned and got into the varsity group, Express. I am still in the varsity group this year and I don't regret a thing. Music had been in my life for so long and I wanted to keep it like that. There is so much blood, sweat, and tears that go into being a part of this group and it has made me stronger both physically and mentally. I will forever be thankful for my directors for supporting me. I loved my experience.

Overall, East is a great school. The teachers truly care about their students, the academic opportunities are abundant, and the athletics are some of the best in the state.

Lincoln East is a great school for academic or musically involved students, however it lacks the diversity that many other schools may provide.

Personally I would say it was one of the best schools in Lincoln. It gets a bad rap due to some of the stuff that's been in the news. But most of the kids that go to the school are pretty well-behaved. They are really working on diversity and making sure that it's a fair environment for everyone.

Honestly, the low rating you assigned East High is baffling, and it makes me question the validity of your rating system. Clearly it's the best high school in the city. This is one of the top high schools in the state, routinely turning out the highest number of National Merit Scholars in the city,...

Lincoln East teachers are experts who care deeply about the students as well as their subject areas. We appreciated Lincoln East’s high standards of excellence, course offerings, and effective leadership for our 3 kids.

I don't think the "diversity" chart does my school justice. We're very culturally diverse, which I think matters more than this obsession we have with skin color. My biology teacher is from Argentina, my administrator is from Spain and is also half Arab, I learn German from a Russian woman, I learne...
