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.

Most teachers are nice. Most students are nice. A lot of the students vape and other stuff in the bathrooms. Food is as good as it can be for school good. Football is a huge sport at ELCO. ELCO has a lot of iptiojs for sports, clubs, etc. Overall an average high school.

Teachers are there to make money, not teach. Curriculum is not that great. Guidance counselors are rude and don't care.

Eastern Lebanon County High School (ELCO) is a small school in a rural community. The biggest problem with this school is its lack of Resources for a student intrested in a STEM Major. The school doesn't offer AP Physics and Taking BC Calc woud be impossible if a student isn't very proactive from the start of their high school career. The School also offers no introduction to computer science related subjects such as Java or C programing.
