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 at East High has it's ups and downs, but the school it overall a good school. The Teacher are well to teach and help student understand the matrials and help them learn in their perfered style. The stuff work really hard to make sure we are cared for and making the fun year fun. Although, there has been so difficults between the stuff to the teacher, due to the changing of administration. It has still been an overall good experience for the past 3 years.

East High School has numerous opportunities for students to begin studying their fields of interests. As a senior, I have been involved in the aviation program, and soloed my first flight this summer. Thanks to the rigorous engagement my teacher has provided, I am prepared to enter college working towards becoming a professional pilot.

Overall great school academic wise with great teachers who really want to see their students grow and succeed. My senior year there was a whole new administration staff which made our senior year really hard to say it was the "best".
