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.

It's hard to think of the positives because it seems like negatives always outweigh them, but there are a lot of good things about attending St. Charles East Highschool. The teachers I have had are great people and good teachers. I wish that there was a "snobby" culture. A lot of student are closed off and only stick to the group they met in elementary school, if that makes sense.

The best parts were the memories and how the school focused a lot on getting involved in activities such as clubs and athletics. Along with pushing going to school events like sporting events and volunteers as well. The worst part would be the lack of diversity as I feel like I was not prepared for the real world and along with that the teachers lack of pushing their students. I would like to see less technology use as it was way to easy to get through high school on computers and technology and would like to see more mental ability by paper and pencil tests.

My favorite part about this school is how the majority of the teachers genuinely care about your well-being and look to be someone you can trust and go to with anything instead of just an authority figure. My least favorite part thus far has been the lack of school spirit when it comes to sporting events. I'd like to see more people coming to the games to support their fellow classmates.

They have taken music classes and have gone downstate for competitive events. Even getting the experience this year to sing in Ireland. Teachers have...

This school is terrible and I couldn't be happier I left the district last year. The teachers are mediocre and a lot of them just print off some other teachers easy worksheets that any student should be able to get an A on. As far as the faculty, deans and principles, I have heard they don't really...
