Whale Branch Early College did not help my child with any scholarships, everything we did by ourselves. They need new and professional staff. There rules are not made out of safety but out of retaliation and favorites.

The school and faculty are great! I would like to see more programs aimed at tech job training and financial literacy.

I enjoyed myself. Very rigorous courses but it is beneficial in the end. Even though it was tuff I was still able to manage the workload. Although academics is a must, the sports and clubs are very inclusive. Everyone has something that fits them and they are very welcoming. The teachers are amazing especially when you build a bond with them. I enjoyed each and every teacher of mine and although they had their moments they still did a good job at educating me.
