Some things I would like to see change in Eastern High School are the consequences for students' actions. I think it would be more beneficial to the whole county school system of JCPS. We have had a countless number of guns brought into our schools and these kids get suspended for two days and are told they can't go to prom. What kind of punishment is that for putting innocent lives at risk?

3 of my sons went to Eastern and graduated from 2010 to 2017. They all went to college and graduated and did very well. My youngest son just recently graduated from U of K at the top of his class 2021. He thanks Eastern High for his success.

We made a decision to buy a home so our children could attend Eastern High School based on greatschools.org and it is one of the worst decisions we have ever made in their lives.
