Great school, and great staff. My son graduated from ERHS 3years ago, my daughter is graduating this year and the third one is still at school. Love the teachers and everyone at this school. They all are good helpers and answer your question as fast as they can.

When it comes to how East River High school is depends on what you're talking about. When it comes to things like sports I recommend going to somewhere like Timber Creek but if you are looking for an education, I'd Recommend East River because this was made in April 2021. Timber Creek is beyond capacity wail East River Still has classrooms we don't even use on a daily basis escaped for testing. I Find that East River is a good school they work hard and you can always find thing/someone with similar interest. I think East River is getting better we just have to update the web sit to show people that.
