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've spent the last 4 years at East High School and it's been quite the whirl wind. IN my time at East I experienced some unique circumstances. I spent my freshman and part of my sophomore year learning virtually. But once I was in person I learned to love East. It for sure has its strengths and weaknesses but its very different from other schools near me. ItItss far more diverse than other schools near by and offer more of a real world experience. The school didn't have the most support when it came to college and I had to look for resources elsewhere but I was able to work past that. Overall I love East and value all the experiences Ive had here.

I am a new senior at East and I am enjoying it! The teachers are good and make sure we understand the subjects. I am a golfer and swimmer and find the athletics are okay.
