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.

The freshmen year we had all online learning due to covid. the the next 3 I was aloud to attend in person. I enjoyed most of my classes. Loved the drafting and music (bands) classes.

My experience at East Forsyth High School is overall pretty decent. College readiness depends on the teacher and many students don't care about their academics. Facilities are decent in some buildings but worse in others.

Throughout my time at East Forsyth I have had many different experiences. I have made so many friends and I have also lost a lot. I have come across many great teachers but also a lot of bad teachers. I have had teacher that just refuse to teach and others who loved teaching. East wasn't a terrible school it just had many things that could be improved.

It’s a challenge engaging young adults with tedious curriculum, however, high school kids have several opportunities to attend sports or after school activities. I love and depend on the thorough parent/faculty communication. So far,...

My son goes to school there and for the most part it's a good school all except for the lady who works in the office. She's always in the worst mood and her attitude shows it.
