Wonderful School. We switched from Morgan in 3rd grade to be a part of the HAG program which we love. The school has lots of field trips and fun activities throughout the year including student musicals and talent shows. We are sad to hear the HAG program may be moved to Brunson only because we believe Southwest is amazing and my son has learned more in one year here than his last three years combined.

The front desk person in the main office needs to learn some manners instead of hanging on people trying to ask a question on the call system and assuming they know what they are going to say. Extremely rude.

Great teachers and students, muy buena escuela

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.

We had two kids at this school over three years. The only good experience we had was with the Kindergarten teachers, presumably because they have TA help. The other teachers all seemed tired, I engaged, and like they had too many kids. After Kindergarten we received zero communications about our kids other than progress reports. If you are looking for a mediocre experience and average tree scores this is for you. It’s not awful, it’s just not great. The Imprints after school program seems over crowded and the teachers yell at the kids. Mine hated Imprints.
