ECHS is a great school in many ways. It is very academic and the smallness of it creates an excellent school community. With college professors teaching courses on-campus and excellent councilors available, the college-preparatory aspect of it is excellent.

The school is very small wich allows for students to interect with teachers more. Although there is not that many clubs there is a wide variety of college classes you can take.

Early College High School provides great opportunities especially when it comes to academics. Unlike other schools, Early College provides college courses through all four years of high school. This school prepared me well for college and I wouldn't be where I am today without the help of Early College teachers and staff.

My child has attended this school for 3 years. It’s smaller size has made making friends & knowing teachers much easier than a larger high school.

Our daughter has been at ECH for two years. She loves the smaller size of the school, the house competitions and likes all of her teachers. The principle, Dr. Martinez, is highly visible and familiar with the students, as are the staff. She has good friends at this school. The only thing she is not...
