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 really enjoyed my teachers, especially Mr.Zuba. Not only did he teach me calculus, but he taught be a lot of life lessons. I really look up to him.

Attending was an experience that I did not expect at all. I always heard bad stories of what happened, but I believe the years I attended there were great. I was involved in sports and tried to participate in as many school activities/events as I could. If I could give the best advice about school in general it would be: "Make the most out of the final years of education whether it is getting yourself involved at events or even just attending them because you only get to live it once."

East has been a wonderful experience for my son. He's involved in sports and the student commission and loves his teachers. They all seem to truly care about how he does and when he's not putting forth his full effort, they let him and me know about it! He's made some great friends (students and tea...
