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.

This school is full of incompetent people. They do not know how to handle mental illnesses among their student body, and they also target students, especially students of color. This school also hires despicable substitutes, many of whom tell students they'll go to jail? Overall, this school is just not the place for you if you aren't white and in the middle class.

East Surry was a very interesting experience for me. There were a lot of things I loved about it, and other things I found annoying. I thought the teachers were awesome with most of them connecting with their students on a personal level, and with the class sizes being relatively small I got a close connection with most of my classmates. The only real thing it's lacking is options for extra curricular activities outside of the normal high school sports.

East Surry to me is the best school in Surry County for academics and athletics. The teachers are not only to there to teach you but to help you out with anything you need which is fantastic.It is a great school to be apart of.
