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.

I have enjoyed my time at East. I feel like I'm home while there. My teachers, for the most part, accepted me and treated me with kindness. I miss being a student at East.

My exsperince at east jessamine highschool was a short one. I was there for two years because the school let me graduate early. I went to garrard my freshman year of highschool and they didn't have anything or any resources. so at east jessamine it was a huge chnage having so many different cultures and so many clubs and activities. I was able to to choose a pathway out of 50. this is a awesome school I highly recommend

One of my biggest problem with EJHS was that they showed nine rated R movies to my 16 yr old during the first semester. When questioned about it, the school and district offices stated they have a "Opt out" program, in which your child does NOT need a permission slip to see the movie but DOES need a...
