pretty good schoolpretty good with foucing on mental health

One of the worst decisions I’ve ever made I didn’t have motivation to come to class and always felt like an outsider. A lot of teachers are hard and dont think about how we have a life outside of school.

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.

I would never in my life recommend this school There getting rid of the good teachers they teachers do nothing abt bullying it’ smell like weed the pe teachers don’t care about the weather they’ll make kids do it if it’s super cold and if you have asthma the don’t care at all one kid passed out and they said oh my god and it so bad due to county budget cuts so I’m doing online bc it’s so bad if you getting bullied they don’t care it’s bad .Do NOT SEND UR CHIlD HERE AT ALL!!!!!

Nobody is care about the students or their actions, my son just joined them at kindergarten and first grade, then he started doing bad things, when I ask him where did you get that from , always answers from school, now I’m looking to relocate to another school
