mankato East high school can be very good and has lots of amazing teachers and students, but there is definitely some complaints along with everything. There's a lot of fights and issues and drama that I've witnessed over the years and a lot of the teachers don't really seem to love their job or don't seem very passionate about their job, which creates a barrier when teaching and learning.

I had an overall ok experience at East Highschool. There were a decent amount of fights, the school setting on fire, people shouting things at me in the hallways, and getting food thrown at me and my friends but I never felt like I was in immediate danger and those experiences just gave me fun stories too tell. Most of the teachers as well are some of my favorite people and inspire me to learn everyday.
