If this is your only option, then make it work. If not, go somewhere else.

When it comes to how East River High school is depends on what you're talking about. When it comes to things like sports I recommend going to somewhere like Timber Creek but if you are looking for an education, I'd Recommend East River because this was made in April 2021. Timber Creek is beyond capacity wail East River Still has classrooms we don't even use on a daily basis escaped for testing. I Find that East River is a good school they work hard and you can always find thing/someone with similar interest. I think East River is getting better we just have to update the web sit to show people that.
