Posted By: student Quality Score: 3 2008-08-26 “east is a great learning school” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-06-23 “East is an amazing school. You would be hard pressed to find a group of students or alumni prouder of their school than the East High Angels. The education is great, teachers are caring, and it is a diverse mix of people. Students learn how to live in the real world.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-10-02 “This school is out standing the principal is the best principal i have ever had in the 11 years ive been in school. Mr Youngquest cares about everything there is to care about at our school and since hes been there the school has been in the best shape and environment ever.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-08-28 “I am a new freshman at this school, and i absolutely love it. everybody is so different, the teachers are great, and i have inquired a massive amount of information already. there are so many different choices of class, and the athletic program is amazing. i recommend taking speech!” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-04-15 “I absolutely loved East. I got a quality education that cradit-wise allowed me to enter college as a junior and learned about what I feel the 'real world' is like. It doesn't have a suburban or rich feel as well, being in the heart of Denver and has great arts, sprts and academics.” Posted By: other Quality Score: 5 2007-08-21 “East is such an amazing school! The kids there are humorous and always have open minds, all children I know that go there think it's awesome! The teachers are entertaining and really have great learning methods. I really recommend it!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-05-07 “Overall East is a great choice for motivated students with an open mind. The academics at East are top notch for juniors and seniors in AP and X classes, and are adequate for freshman and sophomore classes. Athletics are top of the line: Boys basketball are state champions, boys lacrosse, girls lacrosse, soccer, field hockey, cross country, tennis, and gymnastics are all very good. The theatre company and art program are very strong. The open campus system gives students real world responsibility, and puts them ahead of the game for college.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-05-01 “The school is of good quality but certainly not better than that. East has some excellent teachers, but in the main the teaching staff is mediocre. There are also a significant number of ghastly poor teachers. The administration has removed only a handful of poor teachers over the last six years. In general, the school is poorly run and poorly managed. Often, army-like commands substitute for a real discipline strategy. Some parents participate a great deal.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-04-18 “As a parent who volunteers at East and who has kids who attend, I can tell you that overall the school is good. The teachers work hard with disrespectful students and a lot of parents who are worse than their children. Parents enable students to glide by without taking responsibility for their actions. Also, unfortunately, sports dictate the environment of the school. Academics are second. If you have a child who is moderately self-motivated, he or she will thrive.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-02-10 “Have two kids at East, have now been there 4 years. Very happy. One daughter had some problems last year (acting out by ditching, drinking), and when I reached out to teachers/counselor for help, I literally cried tears of joy at their responses. Each one not only responded, but kept in touch about her progress. It was obvious that they were genuinely concerned about my girl - that says a lot. The guidance toward college is stellar - meetings, announcements, emails, one-on-ones - the counselors are to be highly commended for this. My girls have been in some regular classes, many X, and some AP classes, and we've been impressed with all. Drama and stagecraft are amazing. Productions rival local 'pro' theater. Also, I have been to the school many times and have driven many field trips, and the kids are just fantastic. The diversity and more importantly, acceptance is fabulous.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2006-06-26 “Unfortunately, East High School is not what is was in the past and is only surviving because of past accomplishments. Once you have a student in the school, you quickly discover that things are not as advertised. DPS claims to want parental involvement, however the teachers discourage involvement by not returning phone calls and/or e-mails. Teacher absenteeism his high (or at least it was for my son) and 'most' of the teachers do not use or update the only tool available (Infinite Campus) for parents to monitor their child's grades. Politics have a strangle hold on the athletic program, which is why many programs are good but ultimately are not successful. The school could really use a breath of fresh air in its coaching ranks. You can only benefit for a successful historical past for so long. It's time to begin creating a history current students can be proud of later.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2006-05-19 “Perhaps the greatest th
