PME was a very average school, it didn't really excel in any areas but it wasn't a bad school. Our sports arent that good since the student body is on the smaller side and the lack of coaching.

I've attended East High School for three years, since my sophomore year, and it has been a good experience. Coming from such a large high school in NYC to this smaller, closer community has been great for me as time has passed. I have developed great friendships, and the teachers care and want me to succeed. They have become a part of my development and experiences that will serve me well in college and the future.

Some staff and students can be a pain, but that applies in everywhere in life. The school itself is good and upkept. Academics and athletics are good too, depending on what specifically you do. Overall my experience was a 3/5. Good and bad moments.

They praise and protect bullies and when the victim protects their self the victim gets in trouble but the bully doesn't get in trouble and continues to bully students. It is violent school. Teachers and principal are worthless
