I am currently a student at Bellevue East, and I love it there. There are so many great aspects to being a Chieftain, I doubt I can mention them all.

The music department is top-notch in all they do, wether it be marching band taking first place throughout compition season, or East High Singers singing with the Omaha Symphony each year. The drama department is also fabulous, and puts together fantastic shows each year. No matter what activity you chose to participate in, you will become like family.

Surprising! I am amazed at the comments I have read on here. My child is a 10th grader and in advanced classes.

This will be my third year at Bellevue East and I absolutely love it. The teachers are all very friendly and I haven't experienced one that doesn't honestly care about the students and teaching.

This school is average at best. The teachers are absolutely nothing special. I rarely get a report card without errors. They dont respond to emails the administration does nothing to correct incompetent teachers even when advised about it. My kid hardly ever has homework but gets the highest marks

This is a tough one. First of all the music department seems to be ok, but I wish there were opportunities to be in band without being required to be in 'marching' band. It's too much of a committment with the early mornings and all. The theatre department has gone way down hill in the last couple

They no longer do a fall show that involves the whole school, only classroom participation and the special things in sound, light, props, special effects and even the ACTING has suffered with the new teacher.

I like the new principal and activities director and many of the teachers are fantastic. Read less

I'm continually disappointed by this school. As a good student, I find the curriculum and expectations in the classroom to be sub par. Teachers can't enforce rules, the staff is rude in the office, and frankly, their athletic and music departments are so far behind the nearby rivals that it's sad.

With location not being a concern, and a higher quality at Bellevue West, I don't know why anyone would attend this school. Try Bryan, Bellevue West, or Gross Catholic. Read less

This School is great. It is around a military base so it has a wide variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Alot of the teachers are either retired military, national guard or military spouses.
