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.

East High School, unlike some reviews, was a wonderful experience for me. The music department in particular was amazing. Orchestra was my favorite class I even joined a small student-led band that practiced during lunch to perform at biweekly school open mics.

My overall experience with East High school has been a rocky road from freshman to senior year. There were some ups and downs in the school but overall I can see that the school facility did try their best to make East High a safe learning environment for all students and teachers.

The best part of my experience has been the sports. I found that the community within each individual sport was extremely supportive, and being a part of that community was super rewarding. Overall, the school is fine. The teachers can be hit-or-miss, and the facilities are not ideal (at least right now, they are undergoing a renovation), but the community is wonderful, and I always feel like I belong, and am supported.

Top notch. The ratings on here must be old as I see all the work the kids and teachers do to lift up all students. They celebrate the kids who have been accepted to college, diversity, people with disabilities. They have a lot of programs in place so to prepare for students to be ready for college,...
