Open Quote Educationally, this school is not apples-to-apples with others such as Branford or North Branford. East Haven's honors classes are more like regular level classes in those schools. Socially, it's a larger scale school so that is a positive, but the kids are rough (especially if you're not used to the East Haven environment). Although almost all schools, including E.H.H.S., they claim to be "non-tolerant" to bullying, I've seen cases otherwise. There are fights and such, as any high school has, but possibly more frequently than the norm. East Haven clearly doesn't have "great" school systems, educationally or socially, but they aren't the absolute worst either. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio
Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
