Your time here is very much what you make of it. In my case, my experience wasn't particularly helped by COVID destroying the end of my sophomore year, as well as my junior year, but there were many moments where I could've applied myself more (joined another club, for example).
Academics are decent at best but nothing to write home about, due to rampant grade inflation; AP courses especially are very hit-or-miss in terms of teacher quality.
School culture is very very very sports-centered; non-athletes such as myself therefore tend to get pushed aside socially. Music program in particular has been struggling these past few years with both declining interest and COVID.
Before, during, and after the worst of COVID, the administration has made some rather baffling decisions that effectively gutted many student-run organizations.

East Lyme High School claims to be a "Blue Ribbon" school, yet it feels far from it. The budget our school has seems to dwindle down more and more each year, and the food they serve is sub-par and not substantial to nourish growing kids. East Lyme High School needs to make a change, for the betterment of future generations that will walk the halls. We need to make an appeal that more taxpayers dollars go to funding kids education, so that we have smart, capable people to run the world down the road. We also need to invest in larger, better lunches for kids. The servings of food they give out are inadequate and require reevaluation.
I loved being at East Lyme High School, the teachers were amazing, the school in general was amazing. In High School, I played Varsity basketball, cheerleading, and golf. The sports at East Lyme High School are incredible! Lots of fans support the sports, students, teachers, and parents. Throughout High School, I did somewhat struggle because there wasn't much diversity, I was able to manage my way through the year, and have met some other diverse friends along the way. There is not a lot I would change regarding the school other than the diversity of East Lyme.
