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.
East Lyme High School is recognized as a Blue Ribbon school by the Connecticut Department of Education, and it is easy to see why. The student body at this high school earns about 14% higher scores than the Connecticut average in math testing and 16% above state average in reading and writing testing. Not only this, but the continued effort by staff in all departments to create a safe, enjoyable, and engaging learning environment for students is evident more and more every class. This establishment exhibits a great amount of pride in itself and the capabilities of its student body, and the results are consistently clear.
East Lyme High School overall has been an amazing experience. The teachers/staff are all very focused on the success of their students. They dedicate hours of their time to ease students minds about college or anything that may be stressing the students out. Not only is the staff this way but the students as well. If you ever need help with something, such as finding a classroom or finding a teacher, the students have you covered and will help you find what you are looking for. Everyone in the school is always so open to helping no matter the issue. Everyone is so friendly and welcomes everyone with open hands.
