Eastern High School, for me, was an opportunity to engage in an older community. It is the only high school I have ever gone to, but it is also one of the most popular in my city. My overall experience was, in all honesty, a travesty for how the Lansing School District has been represented over the years; this specific school has gone through multiple negative AND positive changes since I first began going. Fortunately, it wasn't as bad as other schools in this area that have been overrated (I hear Sexton is worse on bullying). One positive reform this school has endured is how students treat each other. 7th grade was terrible, but as I grew in this particular environment, I began making changes to myself that made me who I am today (or as I like to say, the better version of me). From my review, you can see it may not be the BEST school to attend in this city, but it definitely IS one of the most revolutionary experiences one can have from a high school.
I've been attending Eastern High School since 7th grade, I'm currently in 11th. My teachers are amazing. My favorite thing about Eastern are the students, we're pretty much a big family. We support each other in everything whether if its academically or sports.
I love this school so much, the community was so brought together in the old building. I know they recently moved buildings and many of the kids miss the old school, I'm glad they can all bond over this. Having International Baccalaureate classes prepared me so much for college, and most of the teachers are amazing. A very diverse school with many opportunities for kids.
