At Achieve Early College High School, you get many learning opportunities and advantages.
One of them being how Achieve prepares you for higher education. At Achieve, we take dual enrollment courses at an actual college campus and at high school. This alone helps students mentally prepare for what college has in-store for incoming freshman. After attending college classes for four years, I am familiar with how professors work and what criteria they have, in addition, I know how to modify my schedule to fit my needs due to having a counselor in high school explaining everything. As a plus to all of this, you get to graduate with an associates and all the textbooks and class fees are covered, which can help parents save some money. Although Achieve has a lot of benefits,I would like for them to add more sports. At the end, any parents considering to register their child for Achieve should do it. Both the student and parent will benefit in their own ways.

AECHS is the best school In the Rio Grande Valley and the thing I like about this school is everyone in this school are friendly and there’s no bullying. This school is not like the traditional high school because after graduating high school we not only earning high school diploma but also earning college associate degree. We have been experienced the college life earlier. I’m a incoming senior and I love that every students will talks to each other and became a big family. There’s no beef or argument between students in our grade. I really like this high school and if I can choose my high school life again, I will definitely choose AECHS again!
Back when I went to Achieve, our school was in portables on the STC campus. It was a pretty different experience but it was nice being an open campus where juniors and seniors were able to leave for lunch. It was a small school with about 100 people in each class which made it somewhat easy to get along with everyone and teachers had a greater chance of remembering you and build a good relationship with them. Since this school hasn't been around for too long it would be nice if they could begin to have competitive sports such as football, basketball, etc.
