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 love the ECA, it makes me feel so comfortable. My experience has been great so far. The only thing I would change is how short our lunch is Monday through Thursday.

Early College Alliance is great for preparing for college, as you take college classes when you're deemed ready by the teachers. However, there is less discipline in this high school than others, as the campus is a college so some people mess around too much. There is also no options for sports through ECA, so if you want to play you need to go through a different school. There is also some prejudice in some of the teachers that is apparent through grades and treatment.

Teachers & staff are extraordinarily dedicated and know how to work with students...
