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 am now a sophomore at Sun Prairie East High School and so far I love it. The best parts about SPEHS are the many different classes and electives available all over your interests. The teachers are amazing, the resources are amazing and the memories I experienced and will remember for the rest of my life are absolutely perfect. There are no worst parts of my experience but if I have to choose one, I would say my experience of high school ending soon.

Other than some fights that don't happen that often the school has a wide variety of different class for each type of subect that any you want to do.

I think the school cares a lot about the wrong things. For the most part the staff is pretty good with a few exceptions. I think the kids that get in trouble more tend to get away with things a lot more because they are closer with the staff (not a good thing) but I understand. I also think the students are divided and very clicky. I don't think it's a bad school but I do wish they would focus more on what the students need and actually want.

When I emailed the principal regarding the possibility of having my daughter repeat a year due to her poor grades, I received no response. Attempts to create a plan or schedule a meeting through other staff members also l...

I've had 2 kids go through Sun Prairie East High School and they've both had an overall positive experience. Most of the teachers are communicative, supportive and care. I feel our kids in general are safe and supported. It's tough to be an educator these days and I sincerely appreciate what our tea...
