"My child has only attended the school since Aug. 2010 as a freshman and already we're having problems. The music program is FANTASTIC! Encourages the kids to participate and excel, gives them a sense of belonging. The academic subjects seem to have little relation to the 8th grade preparation from wredling middle school, especially in the language dept. DO NOT PUT YOUR CHILD IN A LANGUAGE IN 8TH GRADE THEN LET THEM TAKE THE SECOND LEVEL AS A FRESHMAN!! They will not be as prepared as the kids who take the first level in freshman year and second level in sophomore year, and will struggle endlessly. Also, even though they must allow excused absences for family trips, many of the teachers are hostile to the kids when they get back, blaming the kid for the absence, and refusing to help them catch up. Watch out! Your kid will fall through the cracks here, and get little to no help with academic issues, or curriculum planning, unless you put the fire under their butts and make them notice your kid. Lastly, its all the same football player/ cheerleader worship at this school as at every high school."

"This is the BEST STAFF, but absolute worst administration I have ever worked with. Because of moving around a lot I have worked at 4 different schools with 10 years in administration. I had been warned about taking a job there but because I had never had a job I was unhappy with since age 16 I did not take the warnings seriously. I knew as soon as I went to the first new teacher's meetings it was going to be a regret. The way the administration addressed and interacted with the staff is the worst I have ever seen. For the first time in a 20 yr career I considered leaving teaching. I am just glad to be happy again in a normal school. Many of the exceptional staff want to leave but cannot. :("

"The school begins the student's college resume from the beginning, duriing their freshman orientation session. Many of the teachers live in St. Charles, giving them a vested interest in seeing their students succeed. Only draw back, it isn't as racially diverse as it could be, but neither is the town, but it still is a wonderful, wonderful community and school, wouldn't trade it for anything!"

"principle miller brings this school to another level. It's not just a school at st Charles East high school, it's a community that all pitches in to help each other. Each teacher is hand picked and made sure that they are the best fit. Going through hundreds of people to find the right one is what happens at this school. Hand picked by principle himself."
