My daughter attended this school for 4 years, and I can say the IB program is rigorous and fantastic, the students are prepared for what college life brings. The teachers are excellent and caring. The principal is also approachable and kind. My daughter had a great time, made a lot of friends, and the diversity at this school is great. She made it into all her school choices, including 3 Ivy League schools.

My daughter attends East Meck, is a Senior Eagle this year, and came from a charter school (grades 4-8) so went to EM all four years. We, and Many, many others (white, black, other races, various socioeconomic backgrounds, religions, etc. etc.) LOVE East Meck!!! The Principal (Rick Parker), staff, teachers, etc. are caring and responsive. Is it Perfect, no. Excellent, I say yes, for many, many reasons. Feel free to contact me on Facebook (message me) I'm happy to discuss pros and cons. I have friends that have transferred their student here and are happily surprised at how much they offer, including: International Baccalaureate (IB), Culinary, ROTC, Engineering, etc.

I really think that East is a good school. Sure, there are some bad eggs, but that's true of any place. The teachers are devoted to the success of their students, and as long as one is able to self-advocate, things should go smoothly. I really like that school starts at 7:25 instead of 7:15. If you're a bus rider who would be otherwise unable to receive help, that thirty minute flex period can make or break your experience. The one bad thing about East is that the clubs aren't as well established as they are at some other schools. We have a speech and debate team, but this is only our second year competing. I think that, though our president is graduating, the leadership will continue to be strong and devoted, however, if you're seeking glory in s&d, you'll have to be prepared to work for it.

The reason why I put a great is because for me East Meck challenge me to exceed in my academic average.
