Early County High School is a fantastic school so far. I love my classes/teachers. If you're new to the school it'll be easy to get lost. I think the only change I would like to see in my school is for us to wear jackets with hoods on them.

People are some bullies some time.But most of the teachers are nice when they want to be.I enjoy they school sometimes but the dress code is crazy.And the children fight always here.

I'm just a junior at Early County High School, but so far my experience has been welcoming and it still is. Many students entered this high school being scared about not fitting into a certain group or upperclassmen being mean or something but it was nothing like that. The seniors were super helpful and the teachers are absolutely wonderful. Each grade brings something new to the table and people here are willing to help you and motivate you to succeed.

While the education itself is well maintained, and I believ...
