I think that this is an outstanding school. The staff is all kind and I've only experienced good things. I have never had a problem with the students; they have made such an amazing experience. I will cherish my moments at this school and never forget it.

St Charles East is an amazing school super nice people super nice teachers they're athletic programs are amazing super nice coaches and deans. They have really fun and exciting classes you could take anything you'd like to do. But I'd say Saint Charles east is an amazing school they help a lot and their always their for u. And my most experience I would probably say getting hurt this year during cheer my senior year and I can't play anymore.

Truly, East was such a great high school. My only problems were the lack of reprimand when it came to transgressions against minorities. Furthermore, there was a clear lack of reform in regards to many of the athletes behaviors. Most athletes got favored by staff and were basically allowed to do anything. Not that they would treat other people worse but there was evident moments where they treated athletes better.

No the greatest experience, my childre have not been listen too! There is politics when it comes to the school staff, maybe not everyone. But trying to to protect their reputation, and not listening to student needs or parents I have not had a great experience with my kids at St Charles East.

My mom, sisters, older cousins, uncle, and myself all have went here and it is the best school I’ve been too and they agree. The teachers are amazing, student services are very helpful and friendly, hall monitors support safety… just an immaculate school. Lunch has always been amazing too 10/10.
