"East Grand Rapids High School consistently looks good on paper. As a parent of a student who graduated in the past few years, I can shed a not-so-favorable light on the high school. 1) The district is not progressive. Other surrounding districts are miles ahead with project-based learning, foreign language immersion, and experiential learning programs. EGR rests on its “tradition” and “it’s always been this way and it works”. Innovation is not something the district seeks out. If parents have suggestions or ideas for programs, they most likely will get a canned response centering around why something won’t work. It would be refreshing to hear “Great idea, we will look into that”. 2) The administration is not flexible, rarely making policy in the BEST INTEREST OF THE STUDENT. Take AP classes as an example. If your student signs up for an AP class and realizes a week into the semester that she/he should not be at AP level, the counseling office WILL NOT allow a change to another class. Instead of looking out for what is best for the student, the administration is more concerned about touting that the high school has the largest percentage of AP student participants. I’ve heard over and over again from many parents how their children have not been able to get out of an AP class. The self-esteem impact, not to mention the damage on the GPA, is devastating."
