I think that East High School is a very good school because they really have good teachers and other staff that are very willing you help you not matter what. Also the other students there don't judge others and there is no groups because everyone gets along. And I a freshman and I love my school and I don't care that people dis my school because I know that it is better than what they say and that is all that matters.
