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.

At East you will greeted with an old fashion building but on the inside there are thousands of stories throughout the halls. East has plenty of college-readiness classes, in which I take a few. My favorite class would be Avid because it has taught me how to be a leader. When you come to East, you will make your own story.

Honestly, the best part about East is the help and resources available in order to succeed. You truly have to put yourself out there and ask for help though and I think that maybe be the worst part. Its 50/50. That's something I would like to see change, teachers and staff reaching out to those students such as myself at the time, who struggle to speak up and ask. Just a simple checkup, I think would go a long way.

My high school experience was overall good. It definitely had its ups and downs. From being a variety starter in soccer and basketball in all 4 years to tearing my acl in my junior year. Our school at Wichita east high school got more dangerous over the years went on. to lock down every week to an active threat around the building. Overall high school was a blessing , i met friend's that will by my side forever and for that i will be forever thankful for east high school

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...

school was horrific with roaches everywhere. when i was at practice, the roaches would literally jump on me and drag me across the locker room. the sports lowkey aren’t that good either, but people lie and say they are, very fake . 10/10 would not recommend.
