It's a decent experience. The IB program is great, but I wish that bathrooms were cracked down on more often as people will vape in them frequently.

The faculty and staff are overall good. On the flipside, we often get school threats and the building is very old making it susceptible to a lot of damages.

East offers a range of educational opportunities from a very welcoming Special Education community to the high performing IB program and every need in between. The staff are very dedicated to student success and my daughter feels very safe there.

The stairs are so unpleasant to look at. The teachers are constantly eating chipotle and I have to fight hundreds of cockroaches just to get to class. Come home each day with bruises and wounds. Never taught how to evade taxes and now I'm homeless eating moldy Subway cookies off the sidewalk. Why is...
