I moved to Pennsylvania in my freshman year of high school, and I have to say this was a great school to go to. Even though I am only a sophomore in high school, I can say that so far, my experience has been very good. The athletics are good, there is a trainer, physical therapist, etc. Also, I am immersed in the arts programs, and I have to say the orchestra and bands are very good quality. The funding for the programs are not the best, but there is a lot of heart that the teachers have, and that resonates with the students energy with learning. There are many AP classes to take, and there is also dual enrollment, so no shortage of challenging courses. As for the student body itself, most people are nice and welcoming, especially to the new kids in school! School spirit is an important thing here, and anyone wondering where to send their kids, East is a very good choice. Most students and families here are white, but most are welcoming and show hospitality to other minorities.
I've sent three very different children to West Chester East and I can say it is 5 stars. The Administration and the teachers are talented and caring. The instruction and academic opportunities are phenomenal and they support students participating in extracurriculars - there truly is something for every type of student. Most importantly, they also care about students personally, and want to help students find the right balance between all the different pressures they face. Also there are plenty of opportunities, if interested, for parents who want to be involved in supporting the school and their teen's experience. My kids have had a top notch experience and received a phenomenal education!
My daughter is a sophomore and we have been very happy with everything that East has done for her, both academically and socially. There is great connection/relationship between the admins, teachers and students which makes it a safer and open minded school atmosphere. The counseling department works hard for its students as does the PTO...they both have wonderful programs, opportunities and services to offer. There are a huge number of after school clubs, each supported by teacher/s, which offer students multiple options and hobbies. Their music program is amazing and is heavily supported and promoted by the district and the school.
I admit I was nervous about high school, but East has put my mind at ease...it really is a wonderful, supportive community!
