East Heights sounds like a very good school. My granddaughter goes there and she loves her school.

I have never had a problem in this school. My children love it and the staff is friendly. My children have had wonderful teachers who have helped them learn and grow so much. I would have to give East Heights 5 stars.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in reading, social studies, science, writing, and math. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky.
