I just moved here from California, and I really like it so far. I enjoy all my classes, and I feel safe at school. The worst part so far is that the messed up my transcript. They transferred a lot of my credits incorrectly and my GPA and class rank are messed up due to that.

Some of the teachers here are amazing and helpful and really strive to push you. Some are horrible and known for touching kids, being rude and failing almost everyone. But if you are any sort of "other" for lack of a better word, its sucks. whether that be gay, poc, Nero divergent if you being treated badly the staff meant to help you just tell you how much its your fault being treat you bad. Overall eh school some goods teachers, great extra curriculars, and ok classes.

I've been at East High School for about four years now and I've rarely had any problems with anything. We have a lot of activities going on all the time, and students really enjoy it. Being involved is what makes East High, East High. I'm personally involved in choir, show choir, national honors society, and color guard. I wouldn't trade being at East to being at any other school around my area. My experience at East has been fun and It's going to be sad to leave.

Tons of Teenagers get disorderly conduct charges every year, this goes in their record. It's dangerous to stand up for someone as there is too much drama involved. We don't trust teachers, they don't do anything, there's fights almost every day!
