Central Bucks High School East is a public high school serving students in tenth through twelfth grades, one of three high schools in the Central Bucks School District. [1] The school is located in Buckingham, Pennsylvania in Bucks County, adjacent to Holicong Middle School. [2] Its sister schools are Central Bucks High School West and Central Bucks High School South and its feeder schools are Holicong Middle School and Tohickon Middle School. [3] Central Bucks High School East is commonly referred to as CB East or "East." [4]

Contents

As of the 2018-19 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,582 students and 92.76 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 17:1. [5] There were 77 students (4.9% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 9 (0.5% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. [6]

Overview

CB East has two feeder middle schools: Holicong Middle School, and a portion of Tohickon Middle School. [3] Prior to the building of Central Bucks High School South, portions of Tamanend Middle School was also a feeder school. CB East has a student population of 1,528, making it the second largest high school in the Central Bucks School District. [5] The school's students follow a block scheduling system in which students take 83-minute classes for one semester, or half of each school year. [7]

The curriculum includes eighteen Advanced Placement courses and honors courses in most disciplines. [8] U.S.News magazine designated Central Bucks High School East as one of the best high schools in the nation. [9] The school has consistently held a 99% graduation rate, with 90% of graduates choosing to further their education. [10] Central Bucks East is also a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. [11]

CB East has undergone several additions and renovations since it was opened in 1969. Just a few years after opening, the school faced overcrowding and a two-story addition was constructed that featured "open space" concept classrooms. In 1997 a new wing of classrooms, a new auxiliary gym, and a new, larger library were added. [12] In 2010 the school, now over 40 years old, began a multimillion-dollar addition and renovation project that would encompass the entire school and take several years to complete. The project included the addition of a new science and technology wing with 14 science labs, several computer labs, and a large filming studio. [13] The main lobby was expanded into a two-story atrium, and almost every space in the building received new flooring, modern, efficient lighting with occupancy sensors, and new Smart Board projection systems. The project was completed in 2013. [14] In 2015, the school's Athletic Facility was reconstructed, consisting of a new football Stadium and bleachers for the East Patriots Team, as well as a new track field and tennis courts. [15] Beginning in the 2019–2020 school year, after a successful pilot at Holicong Middle School, all sophomores and juniors received laptops as a part of the district’s 1:1 initiative for use in the classroom.
