I attended East Central High School and think that it has prepare me for college. If your kid is looking to take AP classes, this is the high school for them. My freshman year in college was a breeze because I was further ahead than most students. The teachers are also very willing to help, and so are

I am proud to say I attending the high school, and that if your child wants to work hard, that this high school will open many opportunities for them in the future. If your child is an average in classes and not wanted to excel, then I would not recommmend East Central. Read less

This school is just plain BAD! They do have all the sports programs any school could ever want. If you want your child to be a star athlete then this is the school for you. But if you want your child to get a quality education and actually get into college on something other than a sports scholarship

Now I am fighting to get out of this district any way possible. The teachers are only there to get a pay check I have yet to meet one of them that actually cares about the kids. The administration labels your kids as they walk in the door. Just another school ran by jocks looking for jock students. Read less

East Central High School is the best all-around school in the southeast area. The school has worked to bring in teachers that are very knowladgeable. The school did spend a lot of money on the field house and weight room, but do not forget about the theatre and the extra class rooms. The school still

Some of your athletes are some of the brightest in their grade. There are some that play three sports and compete with our academic team. I think one reason for their success is their parents are very involved in their life as a student and as an athlete. Read less

I currently attend east Central High School , and I must say that their academics system is ungodly terrible. They focus on what you don't need to know more that what is needed. A weak Academic honors and a terrivle budget for anything but sports. which is what we all know, unneeded. This school stinks.

As many people have stated, the school focus is way too much on sports. The school budget is down the drain because of the 'needed' addition of the million dollar plus field house and weight room. The teachers for the most part seem to only be there in order to coach a sport, and not to actually teach

As a former student of this school that had transferred because of a parent job relocation, i would have to say that EC is a large school in itself, one of the biggest. The sports are great and the education isn't bad. Most the students at EC dont seem to have a problem, except for the ones who think

Yes i will admit that you do have to speak up for help but that doesnt mean you dont get it. I much rather perfer East Central over the school that i attended this year, thats why i moved back.

As a former student at this school, I would recommend it highly. Yes, this school focuses a little too much on sports, especially football but honestly, what school doesn't? It's even worse in Ohio! The academics in this school are above average, which is excellent. I was an honor student here and I
... Read more find it hilarious how some comments state that if you're not a teacher's pet, that you're nothing. That's completely not true. The only people that my teachers didn't like, were the ones who didn't apply themselves or acted up in class. If I were a teacher, I wouldn't care those children either. As for the comment about us leaving our little suburbs and farms to have intergration with other people, I know when I went to high school there, there was a lot of diversity. We had exchange students from all over the world! I love this school!! Read less

The class sizes are growing at East Central students rarely get individual attention. I myself am falling behind because of this. A lot of extracurriculars are suffering because of all of the focus East Central puts on sports. The teachers at East Central are really nice and helpful (except for
