1.0 Junior

I am a junior at this school there are fights and fire alarms getting pulled almost everyday. I was getting bullied for several months during sophomore year and told multiple admin many times and nothing was done about it. Multiple Racist/ablest teacher and staff, when I told admin about the racist things teachers where saying they basically said "yes we know, other people have come to us about Mrs ___". Overall this is the worst school I've ever been to, I don't feel safe at this school whatever. If you are considering coming here or sending your child here I strongly advise u not to.

Honestly East Wake High School has its ups and downs. The arts department has always been a place I can call home and many teacher here are great, but at the same time things can get pretty out of hand. With constant fire alarms and many commotions with fights and such, sometimes it can be a bit scary to be at school. But overall, I believe East Wake has many charms despite its flaws.

My overall experience in east wake high school was good and bad at the same time.The reason I feel like it was good was because sometimes the school would do little events to make the students feel motivated like ice cream if you got all A's,or you could leave for off campus if you were passing all your classes.Their where things like that,that made this years in the school fun and memorable.Then their was the bad experiences which consists of their being a lot of fire alarms during the school day due to the fact of horrible security surveillance.Then their was times when the administration,teachers and people who work in the school would be rude with me for no reason when I had a simple question or was just trying to get into the school coming back from lunch.I would like for the school to chance in the way it handles things and in the way teachers show respect to the students.I also feel like they could improve the rules and the times they set to get from class to class.
