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.

I liked that I got my AA degree at the same time that I got my high school diploma. It helped me to get ahead in college. This school also helped me to understand how college was going to be.

I had a great time at Macon Early College. The class sizes were small and I feel it made me more comfortable asking questions and participating. The teachers were also very helpful and wanted us to succeed and they did everything to help us do so. I would recommend Macon Early College to anyone who is looking for more one on one time with their teachers and wants a good education.
