The teachers and educators really seem to care about their students. I have had multiple teachers who have helped me through hard times and still frequently check in on me to make sure I am doing well. They go beyond just caring about grades which is really a good feeling. There is a strong sense of community among East students that you don't feel anywhere else. The social hierarchy you hear about in high school is not apparent here, it feels like everyone is kind of looking out for each other. The amount of classes they offer is great, the only thing I wish is a higher selection of AP or IB/ Honors classes.
Overall it has been a great experience. The teachers are absolutely awesome and there’s plenty of school spirit. However, there is almost no diversity, and I wish the school had more clubs to choose from. With COVID-19 putting everything online, the teachers have been super helpful this semester with the different environment. Beware that counselors will not be that helpful in terms of college planning and communication.
I like this school, but there's a lot of room to improve.
The school does a good job of promoting sports clubs, but all the other clubs seem to be less relevant like the math club, robotics, lgbtq+ (I didn't know some of them existed till junior year).
The facility is new and clean. I really liked it.
The teachers were good. Some of them better than others, but overall I think they did a good job teaching.
When I wanted to do something out of the box, I would talk to my counselor and they supported me (sometimes it took a while but) we figured things out. When I tested out of classes I got to take higher-level virtual classes which I enjoyed a lot.
The one problem I had was the lack of diversity and open-mindedness. I lived overseas a lot and I'm multiracial so I had a lot of different opinions, but since everyone's mind was so mainstream (and not really open-minded), I really doubted myself and my opinions. I wish there was more diversity and open-mindedness.
