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.

My experience in East Boston high school has been one of the best experiences of my life. The reason why is because staff and families made me feel so welcome and safe but not only that but more importantly made me happy about me being there and enjoy every moment with new experiences. I didn't really had bad experience only that I didn't pass biology mcas at first and staff, administrators teachers and students were telling me I was not gonna be able to graduate but after I was able to get help from everyone and now I am really to graduate with all my requirements and I am happy about it and not only that I was worry about it but now I feel so good and excited about it because my school was there always to support me with everything. The process was not essay but it wasn't impossible. Eastie high has bring the best out of me and I am glad because that has bring me so far and I think it will keep bringing me far with all the help I receive. "Once a jet always a jet"
