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.

During my time attending Eastern High School, I have experienced lots of joy through extra curricular activities. I have had a couple of classes that were difficult due partially to the teacher not teaching the subject correctly or thoroughly.

School faculty was ok, nothing too great about it. Overall lots of fights, drugs, etc. Not good for people pursing academic future.

Eastern High School is a great school, the teacher are very willing to stop what they're doing to help you if needed or teach you anything that you might find challenging. Eastern High School really cares about the students education and the safety of the students they're always will to let the students take part in any activities that are dealing with the school . Over all if anyone asked me if they should go to Eastern High School I 100% recommend them too everyone here is like a big family.

Came from small Catholic school. Eastern has a lot to offer for an inner city school. 2+2+2 program a Godsend. The AP/IB program includes a diverse cirriculum. There are several languages taught, a wide variety of electives available and a diverse group if people who seem to get along.
