Early College Academy

My daughter has been attending this school for the past two years and couldn't be happier with the education and teachers. She has had the opportunity to take college level courses and is now working in an internship program. I feel that she is getting a quality education and am impressed with the ECA program.

After home schooling my son through the 8th grade, I was somewhat apprehensive about putting him in a public high school, but after hearing such great things about ECA from other former home schoolers and seeing the school's ratings and test scores on this website, I decided to give this school a try. So far I am very impressed. I was able to meet all of his teachers at the school's open house and each expressed his or her love for the job, a couple of his teachers commenting that it was such a joy to teach students who actually wanted to be there. That is the difference between ECA and other schools, in my opinion. Because of the GPA requirements and rigorous academics, the students at ECA are there because they truly want to learn. What a great place for a serious student!

ECA is a new school to APS and it is outstanding for the right children. Its focus on Science and Math make it a great place for the college bound student who is willing to sacrifice some of the social aspects of high school. Students can participate in extra-curricular activities at their home school, and my son did play football for AHS. At ECA he receives intense individual attention which is great. He is very smart and the staff is able to challenge him. he has taken two CNM courses and next year will take two more as well as a UNM class. He will graduate with his first year of college complete and I think his transition will be smooth based on his preparation from ECA.
