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 Williston School District is full of dreams that become reality. I have seen my friends grow up into such mature people that believe that they can achieve anything. Go Wildcats!

It is a small school so students get individualized attention. There are many course offerings and many opportunities to take AP classes.

Academics are not rigorous. Sports are not good. Clubs not inhaling. Administration does not do a good job. Teachers do not teach, or care about their jobs. Handled Covid well. Other than that, not a great school. I am having a bad experience there, and most likely will transfer.
