Community and School Data
The curriculum of our four-year high school is designed to meet the needs of approximately 1,600 students. Our curriculum is semester based and we have a six period day. The six periods are 48 minutes in length and meet five times per week. Grades are distributed four times per year. Final Grades are given after two grade periods (at the end of first and second semester).
About 85% of East's graduates go on to some form of further education or training. Better than 60% go on to a four-year college and approximately 22% enroll in a community or two-year college option. Eight percent go into a full-time military or trade profession. The remainder choose immediate employment or are undecided.
