I really liked the staff, students, and overall work environment. Everyone makes you want to accomplish being the best possible version of yourself. You get to not only gain a high school education but also obtain an associate's degree. This saves college money and helps your education advance. Taking college classes also teaches you about responsibility, time management and self reliance.
Achieve is possibly the best school ever and gives students such a successful outcome and opportunity. Having the chance to not graduate with a high school diploma but also having the opportunity to take college credit hours and courses at South Texas College and being able to graduate with an Associate’s degree is absolutely a blessing. It helps not only the students be able to be ahead in their education but help out families with saving money especially those in need. My experience at my school was one of the best ones yet, it being a small school really helped in being a 1:1 ratio when needed. The staff and teachers knew all the students and with that said really helped each of us individually being able to be the best students we could be to our abilities and pushed me to succeed. Without them and this very special program I would not be the person I am today.
My experience at achieve early college high school was unique since achieve is a high school that lets students do two years of college while being in high school. Most students might not like the idea of this since any regular student wants to go through the "normal high school experience", and although I did not go through that, I would say this experience was way better than the normal high school experience. Achieve is a school for certain students (each class has about 100 some students) who outrank normal high school students in intelligence. Since we take college classes while taking our high school classes, it makes us think outside the box. Though yes achieve could be stressful, they reward us with letting us get out early of school (obviously with certain requirements) . I could easily say the best thing that I could've done during my high school years was attending achieve, its what made me to what I am today, an intelligent and determined student.
