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.

Ashe County Early College High is, overall, a lovely school. The teachers are helpful for the most part- my issue comes with the college professors. Last semester, one of my professors did not communicate with me at all, and left several of my emails unacknowledged. This school is great, especially considering it has only been open since 2018, but there are definitely some kinks that need to be worked through.
