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.

im trying to pass my classes so i can go to Stanford university. What i would like or it to change is the gym its trash. It is not even a gym its a basement . HSEF is great school but the Gym sucks its not very good. And some of the teachers are either nice or rude depending on the day. We are all humans by the way so i have noting against them .

My best part of being in high school of economics was being apart of the basketball team shaping my self into the leader i am today . Helping guys that come from similar environment as me to do good in school and focus on the bigger picture when i struggled with that really motivates me that anything is possible and maturity is key even when you feel like it's to late it isn't .The worst part was my sophomore year being told i wouldn't graduate, i was going through foster care and being removed from my home and these times changed the way i acted and school and derailed me but eventually i got back on track and i just think it would've been easier if i had all staff supporting me from the beginning . Im thankful for my counselor who put me in the position to graduate or i wouldn't be writing this here and my grandma who took me in .In high school of economics and finance i wanna see staff believing in students no matter what they look like or everyone deserves a chance

Has very good teachers. There are a couple of teachers who take their job serious but at the same time make the class fun for the student by joking around with them. The principle is amazing I love him. I come from a middle school where the principle never said good morning and she was always mad. T...
