Colorado Springs Early Colleges

While the opportunity is great, CSEC is a failure at organization. While Robin Zooks was in charge of enrollments and new students it was fantastic...now it is horrible. I and many friends enrolled children with CSEC this year and were told they were enrolled. NOW we find out they are NOT enrolled, and many of us can't get our kids into the school. This has been a nightmare and caused many tears and anxiety. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!! If you could do that it would be great -- but right now it is just a nightmare. If you say they are enrolled and everything is good to go, you'd better have it right. Right now, you don't. Get the paperwork together and this will be a 5* place. Right now it is at best 2* because CSEC cannot do what they say they will do.

While this is a great opportunity to attend college while in high school, the school is lacking competent leadership. They make up the rules as they go to fit their agenda (appears to be Christian) then will back peddle when confronted about not following State regulations, laws and guidlines. A constant battle with administration to simply have them follow the rules.

This school is great to get a free college degree and really excel but in my experience and a friend's experience they are extremely unorganized. My credits have been "lost" and I haven't been put on a schedule to help my grad progress more than once. If they really reigned in their organization and took control it would be a much better school. If you are willing to put up with all this, and take the risk, the school has a lot to offer in the end. Good luck!

This school is a really great opportunity. I've been going there for two years. It is, however, truly for those willing to work hard. If you want to slack off all day, go to a different school. It is also not for those whose main interest is sports or music, as there are virtually no extracurricular programs. I, however, am using this opportunity to the fullest and will probably save $50,000 on tuition.

This school is great opportunity for those wanting to earn college credits while still in high school, however, it does not focus on students needs. it is strictly work all day, with absolutly no extracurricular activities, sports, of clubs.The teachers do not have teaching degrees and students are often times considered a number and do not recieve enough attenttion.

I went to this school last semester. Though it is a bit small, the college teachers are top-notch. Hgihly recommended.
