Teachers and administrators prioritize safety and student success. It’s a challenge engaging young adults with tedious curriculum, however, high school kids have several opportunities to attend sports or after school activities. I love and depend on the thorough parent/faculty communication. So far, it’s been a great experience as a parent.

This is a good school and the students are very respectful to this school

the worst experience ever we've been doing this for 3 months no at home and we talked to a teacher once who have been to be social studies teacher and we've never talked to her since my daughter's been looking at a computer and learning on her own and failing and nobody does anything about it she has disabilities and I had a fight to get an IRA IEP review after the hospital even thought it was a good idea spend the worst school meadowlark was meadowlark Middle

My son goes here and has thrived. Teachers seem to really care and take extra time to make sure they are being understood.

I taught at this school for many years and have nothing but positive things to say about the students, parents, and staff members. I am filled with pride when I think about my time at the school and miss teaching there very much. The students are challenged academically and held to high standards, but they generally rise to and exceed these standards. The college professors in particular will hold the kids to account, and it shows in their development both as students and individuals. If you want your child to develop a strong work ethic, feel supported by both their peers and teachers, and grow into thoughtful, respectful, and diligent individuals, send them to this school!Please be mindful that this school is not for everyone. Students will be enrolled in college courses immediately and this has proven to be difficult for some individuals. The school also does not offer after-school sports (students can still participate, just at their neighborhood school), however there is an abundance of clubs on various days that almost all students participate in. Parents also need to understand that micromanaging their students' coursework is a no-go here. College professors sometimes outright refuse to speak with parents as they only communicate with the students themselves. Don't be turned off by this - it simply encourages the students to learn how to speak to their professors when they need help (questions, extensions, etc). In my opinion, this is one of the most important life skills that is taught at the school. That being said, parents are still a HUGE part of the Early College family and are encouraged to volunteer whenever possible. The school provides ample opportunities for families to get involved and participate in their kids' high school experience. I truly loved my experience here. I am so proud of my students and I had so much fun watching them develop into incredible, thoughtful, intelligent, and creative individuals.

So I went there from kindergarten - 3rd grade, and let me tell you about ALL of the bad things that happened to me. So I was bullied and NO ONE EVEN CARED I would tell the teacher but the teacher would do NOTHING like absolutely nothing. There was a lot of swearing and bullying and I think the principal that I had (I don't know if the principal that I had is still there) was absolutely bad and would do nothing. My grandma was on the PTA and the PTA wasn't that bad, but still a little bad. Only like a few people cared about me in that school but those people were friends and one staff member I knew but not the principal, I knew the principal but did nothing about my bullying. The bully swore at me one time. Please DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE or they would have a bad time with the bullying and learning swear words at a young age. just to let you know this is an elementary school and this should not be happening in an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!!!!
