Overview

CB East has two feeder middle schools: Holicong Middle School, and a portion of Tohickon Middle School. CB East has a student population of about 1,650, making it the second largest high school in the Central Bucks School District. The school's students follow a block scheduling system in which students take 90-minute classes for one semester, or half of each school year.

The curriculum includes eighteen Advanced Placement courses and honors courses in most disciplines. Over 650 Advanced Placement tests were recently administered to CB East students, who excelled in every area. Newsweek magazine designated Central Bucks High School East as one of the best high schools in the nation. Recent graduating classes consistently score in the top five percent of all high schools in the state on the rigorous Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA). The Class of 2000 scored highest of all comprehensive high schools on both the math and reading portions of the PSSA. Central Bucks East is also a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.

CB East has had several additions built onto it over the years, including the Boyd Wagner addition of 1974 - known as the "Open Space" to East students, and in 1997 a very large additions project that added a new wing of classrooms, a new auxiliary gym, and a new library. In 2010 the school, then over 40 years old, began what is to be a multimillion-dollar addition and renovation project that would encompass the entire school and take several years to complete. The project includes the addition of a new science and technology wing with 14 science labs, several computer labs, and a large television studio. Other phases will involve the renovation and gutting of old classrooms, and reconfiguring the school's main lobby area into a more open plan. The project was completed in 2014.

CB East is most commonly known for being the set location for the hit film "Hooking Up" [2012]. All indoor scenes were filmed at the school, while the outdoor scenes were shot at CB South.
