I just graduated from this school. It's an amazing school. All of the faculty and staff is great. Most of them know you by name. They have a very safe environment and a lot of programs for kids. I was in Quiz bowl and ITS (International Thespian Society). They just added a french class to the course selection. It's a great school they build you up mentally, physically, and emotionally.

first id lke to set some things straight, i was a student at ej until i moved away, i was a well known person at that school, so i guess you could say i was a pular student, but i worked hard, on my grades and my friendshipswith the staff and students there. bullying? thats nonsense, everyone there i so care free... the teachers are amazing, and the classes are really interesting, its the best schol ever! the only way you can left out of anything in that school is if you dont let your presents be known, ej is more like a huge family than anthing, the principal kytle, is amazing, he lves that school more than anything. and again the teachers... wow, ones like dyer and scheonfeild... ej is a big thing to them tailgating parties... pep rallys and even keeping the school looking nice, the students get invovled.

I am a student at east jefferson..its a great school..teachers try hard..students try hard..and the discipline is great..but they worry to much on how we look like(meaning: tucked shirt, white socks, no head band, etc.) instead about worrying more in education than those reasons..other than that it is awsome school I love it...too bad I have only one more year to go...

I just graduated from EJ three months ago, it's the best school i've been to. They have an awesome band, dance team, flag team, and cute cheerleaders. I learned a lot over there. Most teachers including Coach Rando and Ms.Upton and Mr.Dyer will help you if you need any help. Once a Warrior, Always a Warrior!!

I was in their special education program. It is horrible! They do not push you to do better. They do not give you the tools you really need to make it in the real world.

Academically, East Jefferson is a decent school. The teachers are nice and the classes are fine, there are no problems in that area. But personally, this school is horrible. The disciplinarians favor the popular students and let them get away with a lot. Students are constantly bullied for being different. And unfortunately, it's always a game of he said, she said. The administrators try, but there's not much they can do.

I am about to graduate from e.J. Next sautersay the 27th. And e.J. Is the best school. I was on the cheerleading team there and it was great. The teachers are there for you even if they don't know you if you need their help with anything at all they will do what ever they can to help and if they can't they will show a person who can help.

I graduated from E.J.(c/o 2003). The teachers always work hard to make sure the students are learning what they need for success in the future. I enjoyed playing girls soccer when i was there. The coach Graffo (sorry if I missed spelled her name) taught me what good sportsmanship is and how not to sink down to their levels. i never got to tell her thanks. There is Mr.Dyer who offers to help any student who come to his room for help no matter how busy he is. that is just a few teachers at that school who try and help students. Go E.J.!
