I will say that East High School is such a wonderful school no because of its resources but because of all its ESL teachers, and the others who are opened-mind people. Everyone who belongs there knows that they need to improve on helping seniors when graduation comes, also stop spoiling your students, let their parents do that!
East High School has been a home to me for the last three years. With a bustling art scene, caring teachers, and expanding course options, it really does strive to help educate it's students the best it can. However, as a public school it struggles with low funds, overworked staff, and an achievement gaps among students regarding race and class. East is a school where over 60% of students qualify for free reduced lunch, thus their efforts to make sure everyone is getting fed, has school supplies, and resources at home, often leaves other school programs in need of seeking outside funding or management. With a staff whose diversity matched that of the student body (who are majority kids of color) and more resources from the community/state, I believe East could fill the aforementioned gaps & pull their students up to greater heights.
East high school has a amazing atmosphere and is filled with staff and teachers who care about you. East high school is one of the most diverse high schools in Madison. At East we celebrate culture, all different religions and School unity. I’ve loved my experience at East and feel like I have been able to the college ready. East is not without its faults though, I’d love to see more students involved and engaged in the classroom. Teachers need to be more willing to help those who are struggling rather than leaving them behind. Teachers need to have more of a unified curriculums and grading system. As a junior at East I feel like it has prepared me to enter college, and I feel like I’ve made lasting memories here. I will forever be grateful for the experiences and impact East has left on me.
