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 Jefferson is a welcoming school. When I first came to school as a freshman I thought East Jefferson was going to be this bad school. The reason for this will be because I heard rumors that it was a bad school from other family members so I was nervous entering. However I came to a realization that it was all false rumors. East jefferson is a very welcoming school and presents itself as a very calm school. In other words don't judge a book by its cover.

In summary, my time at East Jefferson High School was a journey of growth, learning, and discovery. The lessons learned, friendships forged, and memories created will always be cherished. It was a place that not only prepared me academically for the future but also taught me valuable life lessons about resilience, kindness, and the importance of community.
