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.

I felt really supported by the arts faculty, they inspired me to reach my goals and soar high! I've very proud of my choir group and all the things we went on to accomplish because of the faculty.

I have only been here for 2 years, but the teachers here are very welcoming and helpful. Most want to actually educate you, and not only educate but have a friendship with you. Eastern is also very diverse, but even so there is a lot of ignorance. With this, there are people who are not properly educated about different identities and I don't think Eastern really gives students many opportunities to change that.

I was scared going into the school as a freshman but I got to enjoy the campus, make new friends and have new experiences.

3 of my sons went to Eastern and graduated from 2010 to 2017. They all went to college and graduated and did very well. My youngest son just recently graduated from U of K at the top of his class 2021. He thanks Eastern High for his success.

We made a decision to buy a home so our children could attend Eastern High School based on greatschools.org and it is one of the worst decisions we have ever made in their lives.
