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.

Compared to other middle and high school, East-West school of International Studies is a small school. The best parts of my experience was meeting my friends and having amazing teachers that give me feedbacks on my academics. There were no worst parts as I wish to stay there longer. What I would like to see in changes is having more guide for college life and AP course.

The best part of my experience is that the teachers of this school are always available when you need help. There is always guidance available. The students are nice and supportive. There is a high acceptance of those who are different, as in race, gender, and etc. Something that I would like to see change is in the punishment of students who have violated a school rule. Since the school have lean to a more lenient approach to that matter.

Definitely a school that should be on...

I’d say it’s been great so far. One thing though: I wish they wouldn’t wait to put grades in until the last moment because it’s really annoying and badly affects any chances of gold honor roll. I love certain teachers and hate some, not so different from any other school. I’ve made many friends but...

As a former student, I can say that this school made my life miserable and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
