Zeeland East High School Reviews
Rating 3.73 out of 5 245 reviews
In my experience, the best parts of High School always involved the staff. The majority of Zeeland East’s staff have such kind and compassionate hearts. They care for the success of their students, as well as their mental well being. The mental health awareness has gradually become more prevalent and has allowed for students to open up more and more throughout the years. However, though these are great qualities of Zeeland Public Schools as a whole, Zeeland has struggled with diversity and inclusion. When being a senior at Zeeland East High School, it was finally at that point where change started to begin. Many people of color at Zeeland East and West gathered to talk about the hardships with being a minority. Our group was determined to create change in the small town. My last year at Zeeland East High School was filled with lots of change. A group called Calling All Colors was developed and provided a safe place for those who have felt personally victimized and discriminated against
Zeeland East has a terrific performing arts program which is very important to me. It has one of the best dance programs in the state and the choir and band programs are very good. There are tech theater and drama classes, along with an orchestra to capture all of the aspects of performing arts. All of the arts are quite strong whether visual or performing. We have great running athletes for track and cross country. The tech programs are quite strong, and the robotics teams consistently go to world championships. The other sports are not as high achieving but are inclusive. The academics are quite strong, with a wide range of classes to choose from. The majority of the staff is nice, especially the English teachers, performing arts teachers, and lunch crew. It would be nice if Zeeland East was more inclusive and diverse, as an extremely white-heavy school that is not very accepting of the LGBTQ+ community. The attendance policy is also very strict. It is in a very safe environment.
The teachers at Zeeland East, and West, High School are amazing. They want to help you learn in and out of school, not to mention how much they truly care about you, and not just grades. The disciplinary side of the school could use some work, being strict about nonchalant issues and rarely enforcing the things that matter. Sports events are always great, Zeeland East has amazing sports complexes and they’re always striving to be great.
