East High School

I am currently a senior who cannot wait to leave East High School. Please.. If you have the opportunity to send your child to a different school, please do so. This is an extremely unprepared and inappropriate school. The students have seemed to take over as the teachers act as if they don't care. Forget about becoming prepared for college here because it's not going to happen. I regret not attending West High. This school is a shameful product of the broken community that surrounds it.

Im not currently in this school but will be in a year, Based on the reviews I've read this school doesn't seem that good. I know High school is a tough place to be at but I didnt know it was this bad.

Since I have been back from the Army I have never in my life seen East Aurora High school so low with everything! It was rated the worse in Aurora. I was very hurt by this I graduated in 87 and now my kids go there. My kids tell me it's the students bringing the schools rep down not the teachers. More parents need to get involved in what their own kids are doing. I went to a basketball games and I swear I thought I was in the hood! The kids with so much disrespect was hurtful. So don't blame the school you blame the parents for not getting involved with their kids and raising them to respect people!

I am a recent graduate of East High and am now attending DePaul University. Reading the reviews below are heartbreaking and mean. The system that all schools use is the problem. Punishment is not the answer for tardiness at any school. Taking students out of class for being late to class will not get students motivated, behavioral problems are prominent at East and taking students out of class to be punished is not going to lead to a rise in test scores. This goes for all high schools. There are limited number of honor / AP classes here and that is due to the lack of funding, segregating student into the "good" and "bad" students. I truly believe there is a better sense of community at East than most high schools in the area, yes there are some ignorant students, but you will find these students at any high school. My cousin went to Waubonsie and we are BOTH going to DePaul now. The parents need to understand that the students need to take advantage of their resources. I did, and I am proud to be a Tomcat Alumni.
