Personally, I enjoyed my time at East Peoria High School. I felt like the students were friendly and the staff worked hard to provide a safe space for each student. Also, almost every teacher I had made sure I knew the material we were covering and would always find a time if I needed additional help. The teachers really made sure to make the classroom a fun yet effective environment. However, some areas I feel like needed improvement were in the diversity. There is not much diversity in the school as well as the surrounding community. Along with that, I believe another area East Peoria High School may need to step up is in involvement. Lately, there has not been as many students involved in the school as years before and participation in school events has gone down. The amount of parents stepping up to support the school is declining also. Overall this school is pretty good and the positives outweigh the negatives.
Although my experience in high school was different from many students, I have a favorable view of EPCHS. Most of the staff and teachers did well to help students in ways far beyond the regular curriculum. Many were positive role models. There is no shortage of encouragement to get students involved in sports and other activities. Although not a highly regarded high school in the area, I think it gets a bad rap from many. It is a perfectly fine public school system.
Overall, I feel like East Peoria Community High School had a lot of opportunities if you were willing to work hard for them. They had multiple volunteering events and several clubs that helped prepare you for potential scholarship opportunities. This being said they did consistently lack student support and often had many school activities overlapping. Yes, they provided those opportunities but completely failed to make those opportunities available to lower-income students. The key club was held Tuesday mornings before school which did not allow students who could not get a ride to school to consistently attend. They always claimed those students would be able to make it but if you missed three meetings you were no longer welcome to be apart of the club. Overall, East Peoria Community High School is on the right track for providing opportunities but need to continue to make changes and support equal opportunities for lower income families.
