The spelling & grammar used by students in these reviews for East Aurora should speak for itself. The students of the East Aurora school district are not taught anything. Their writing & standardized test scores prove this time and time again. Proud to be a tomcat? Not hardly!

I have a daughter that is a Senior at East. What I have noticed over the years is that the biggest problem in the school is the students. Most of them have no respect for authority at all and don't care about education. My daughter finds herself defending the teachers on a daily basis. She will actually

There are fights sometimes, but the staff does a great job of breaking them up rather quickly. When you put almost 3000 kids in one place there are bound to be altercations. Maybe the parents should spend more time teaching their kids respect for authority and the importance of education and East would be a better school! Read less

I've personally known many who had the opportunity to go elsewhere and earn much more money, but chose to stay

Please keep in mind, however, that students need to be held accountable for their success in school, too. Too many times students, and sadly, some parents, want the teachers or administrators to 'do the work' for them, but that teaches the students nothing about subject matter, responsibility, or personal accountability. Having successful academic achievement takes work from students, teachers, and parents. When those three groups work together, great things will happen. Let's roll up our sleeves and get busy!

There are a vast majority of students here who don't care, have no respect for teachers or other adults, and lack any motivation.
