I went here last year and I like that the teachers are fair and kind. If you don't hang out with bad kids nothing bad is gonna happen to you

As a military family we are required to move frequently, so my children have attended numerous schools and have been successful. Our experience was completely negative at this school from the education, staff, and administration. My children’s education, development, and social skills all suffered greatly from this institution. Thankfully, we have since moved on from here, and they have been able to recover from this experience but only with an exceptional amount of dedication from their new school. A terrible school like this impacts every aspect of a family….I recommend seriously considering letting your child attend here.

We love ORES! Our 3 children have had wonderful teachers and great experiences. The staff is friendly, administration is approachable, and the parents we have encountered seem kind and supportive. 10/10

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.
