    It’s great overall but the school really needs to fix some of the clubs and add new ones. Most club meetings except for the big clubs only last for 5-10 minutes and not much happens in that short time frame. They also need more clubs like a dance club and whatnot. Teachers are fine, i’d say 90% are good and prepared but some can be very difficult to deal with. Kids here are okay and polite, no bullying happens here and very little racism. I wish they offered some more classes. The amount of classes they offer here is quite decent it’s just there are some niche classes I wished they offered. Athletics are good too. Music program here is very very good as well.

    Some teachers really care about you as an individual and for your future, but most guidance counselors don't actually help at all. Most teachers are understanding and prepared to teach every day. They're organized and clearly have everything organized for the students. For the most part, the students are welcoming and friendly, but this year, we've had problems with vaping in the bathrooms. In addition, there are no air conditioners in some classrooms, which makes it extremely difficult to learn in the summer when you're sweating buckets and overheating.
    I love East Meadow High School! Most of the teachers are great and I really feel prepared for high school. Some improvements that the school needs are mainly superficial, like better heating/air conditioning, fixing leaky roofs, getting better classroom technology (the class laptops are pretty bad and the iPads are not much better).
