GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The school is okay. I think that it could use a lot more diversity. Attending this school as a person of color could be a little challenging but the school does provide students with good programs through the local community college.

Pender Early is a wonderful school with a wonderful community. Classes can be very difficult, but they are well worth their work. Teachers put lots of effort into their classes and do care about each and every individual student. Overall, I would recommend Pender Early College High School to people living in the Burgaw/Pender area who are up for an advanced high school education.

Pender Early College High School is a great school overall and definitely prepares us for the future and college since we have a dual enrollment system with Cape Fear Community College. The academics and teachers at this school are great and there are tons of clubs and activities. The one thing I would like to change is our school is supposed to be for advanced and well organized/prepared students but there are some students that honestly don't try at all and our school has a select budget so I believe when they're selecting students it should be a little more stricter.

Pender Early College is the best school in Pender County. In it's first graduating class alone, students have all been accepted to competitive universities including Harvard University, and received pretigious scholarships such as the Morehead-Cain scholarship at UNC-Chapel Hill. This can't be said...
