Somethings that I really like about East is that our school is very diverse. Every where in the school, there are different kinds of people. Also, when befriending someone, you can really learn a lot of things about their culture! And, not to mention, the students at East are all welcoming and supportive of each other.
Another thing that I really like about East is the teachers. The teachers make sure that every students are on top of their goals. When students are going through tough times, the teachers are always there backing the student up. Our teachers are like our backbone, they want us to succeed in life and are willingly to support us!
To others, East may seem like a regular high school, but to me, East is different from other high schools around the Madison area. I can always talk to the teachers whenever something is bugging me. The teachers, staff, and students made East the way it is today!

East High School is an excellent and diverse place. The students at East all come from very different ethnic, socio-economic, and cultural backgrounds, which is part of why the school is so great. There is a lot of school unity and spirit. For the most part, teachers are very good, especially in the history and social studies departments. Students can select how rigorous they want their experience to be. Some sports are very strong while others are quite the opposite--athletics do not necessarily define high school for everyone. There is a major emphasis on social/political activism and the students are very engaged in the political climate. Most of all students and teachers are extremely liberal. The band and choir departments are very popular. The school has been renovating recently and the new theater is amazing.
East is like any other high school its what you make of it. Unfortunately there is more recovery programs for failing students than enrichment programs for those who are high achievers. This is a fault with nearly all public high schools so it is to be expected. The AP teachers here do love their jobs and want students to succeed but often those in general class courses do not always have an engaging or qualified teacher. Overall an okay school lots of people of diverse backgrounds, and okay athletic department.
