East Rowan was very supportive of the athletic programs. Teachers were very involved after school. Their social media presence is very poor. This needs to improve for student athlete exposure.

I'm currently a freshman, clear favoritism. Terrible administration, writes up students for nothing. Horrible principal. Terrible curriculum, boring teaching. Haven't learned a thing in English, or World history. Seniors get away with everything, administration doesn't do anything about bullying.

I taught at this school. They try but the minority students are conditioned to be subservient to the majority. Comments have been made like token black students and racial slurs can be found written all over the school. Not an inclusive environment.
