East Henderson is a wonderful place to go to school. The school might need some work here and there but the students and teachers are great. I think that East students have a great bond and there is not that big of a problem with racism or fights. East has a great learning environment and great football! I love going to East and I could not imagine having to switch schools.

i have attended east henderson high school for one year and it was a very unpleasant experience all of the students are very rude and cruel and always have some type of degrading or hurtful comments to say to each other there is also alot of fights and problems here and the students are extremely racist and prejudice most of the teachers are good teachers and the administration are all very courteous but they just are not involved enough in the student body and curriculum

I am an Honors student at East and the kid who said there was mold and sneezing is full of crap. East is a really great school, it could use some remodeling, but it is definitely a good school. And that kid can't even spell the principal's name,. and he's a really fair guy

East Henderson High is a great school for anyone. The new principal is a very honest and good man. I have faith in him to make East even better than it has been.

The East Henderson High School could use some remodeling, but the new principle is a fair and honest man who will do nothing but bring a positive impact to the school. The quality of teachers he will now be responsible for bringing into the institution will be of character and integrity. We are pleased and excited to see what this principle can do for the school and the community.

East Henderson High needs to be bigger it has way to many students attending. The new principal, Mr. Gruembauger, is to strict on his students. The english hall has mold gowing in the carpet:it smells and the students sneeze and cough all period. I would not suggest to send my kids to East Henderson High School.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 North Carolina used End-of-Grade (EOG) tests to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math, and grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The EOG is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Carolina. Students must pass the grade 8 EOG test in order to graduate from high school. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the tests.
