Judson Early College Academy is helping all the students, to have a successful and bright future. The staff and the district is doing a lot to help the students get a free college education. It is also a great challenge for the students to get a associates degree at a very young age, they are maturing and become young adults with this wonderful program.

The High School has formed a great partnership with the college so that these kids will be well prepared to finish their degree and be ready for the world waiting for them.

Never in my wildest dream would I have imagined a school like this. I realize it is in its first year of operations - but I have to brag! Everything about this school is amazing! From the first day I knew as soon as my son came home that we had struck gold. He didnt come home complaing about the 8-5 day. He came home telling us how his principal and the entire staff had welcomed each student by greeting them at the bus (something they continued to do), makking all of the students feel welcomed, having actual classes the first day! There wasnt 'here are the rules' in the classrooms - it was high expectations and you are the most important piece to the educational puzzle in each class! The school promotes teamwork, leadership, confidence, academics and so much more. Congratulations to the Ms. Anglada (principal) and her very dedicated staff for bringing education into the 21st century!

JECA is any educator's dream. We have the best students in the nation - why? Because they know what they want to accomplish. It is amazing what can happen when expectations are clear from the beginning! Our students, our staff, our parents have one goal - to educate students and make them college ready! Go Raptors!
