East Central High School

I'm very proud to have attended East Central. E.C. is certainly the 'flagship' school of S.E. Indiana. The kids who excel at sports have a great environment to get to the next level with great support, an award winning athletic director and a very knowledgeable coaching staff. Not to mention their sports medicine staff is run by Beacon Orthopedic, the same doctors used to treat the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals also take care of the Trojans. Academically the school has always been a stand out winning several national awards. Students who get involved in academic societies will find themselves in pretty stiff competition. Extra curricular activities like Chorus, Show Choir, Theater and AV Club are also available. The school has a strong drama program for kids interested in theater. The Band at one time was one of the most impressive in the state but has petered off in recent years.

The acidemics is great. The teachers really are willing to help you in any way they can to see you succeed. They help you through the getting ready for college process and they help you get accepted as well.

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 counselors, especially with trying to get into college. 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.

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 then find somewhere else to send your child! We relocated here 2 years ago and my child has been in this school since then. 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.

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 needs to adjust to the size they have become, because not long ago it was a fairly average size school. One of the problems is that people use sports as a scapegoat. 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.

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 the kids. Many of Them use the 'teach yourself' method. You definitly have to be a strong person to survive this school.

east central is the best school by far and has the best teachers and students I have ever meet! they have a great suport system there at east central.

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 that school should be a safe haven for all, EC does has its discipline issues but you dont have to be a teachers 'pet', to get by. 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.
