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.

Right Now my experience at early college was very nice since we get to take advance classes and be able to receive college credits in order to be able to use them for your for any of the UNC System Schools.

As a rising Junior, I can certify that being in this school offers great academic benefits and leadership experiences to its students, but there are, of course, downsides as not everything is perfect. I've spent my years in this school without a counselor, or if we had one, they'd only stayed for a short period, so navigating my high school and college life with all of its challenges has been incredibly difficult and stressful. This issue, yet tremendously hard-bearing, was assuaged, fortunately, thanks to the committed teachers and staff, who regardless of our school circumstances, continue to build our school towards the values that it was built on: proficiency, community, and readiness. Yes, there are pros and cons, and this is only merely a small spec of the bigger picture, but I don't believe that I'll be happier anywhere else if I wasn't in JD Clement ECHS.

I found J.D. Clement to be slightly disorganized. They had some trouble with staffing while I transferred there which set my first semester there back.

This is the best school experience I could have imagined for my children! I have had two children graduate from this school and receive full-ride academic scholarships to college. I have seen countless students follow this path and Ms. Rankins, the school counselor, works really hard to find college...

I would rate my experience here as excellent! I finally found a school where teachers are appreciated and supported. We have the technology and supplies that we need as teachers. We have a technology specialist on site who is available almost immediately when there is an issue. We have great staff m...
