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 loved all of my teachers at East! In every grade there was at least one teacher that I knew I could talk to if I ever got stressed out. I have been able to build relationships with my teachers and they have supported me in all of my ambitious endeavors.

We have great facilities and following our sports teams this year has been a lot of fun. There are many course offerings which makes it easy to find something you are interested in as far as electives. Everyone gets along well but there are still the typical high school cliques. Most teachers are nice. A lot of clubs to join.

Parents are given multiple opportunities to speak with administrators, teachers and staff. There are some older reviews on here that do not reflect the way things are now...
