East High an elite school

Congratulations to Wichita East High School, which ranks No. 464 in America’s top 1,300 public high schools, according to Newsweek magazine. The rating was based on a formula involving Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Cambridge tests taken by all students at a school in 2007, divided by the number of graduating seniors.

East was the only Kansas high school outside of the Kansas City area that made the list.
