As a senior at Early College High School, I see all the advantages this school has brought to me. I would never have thought that I would have received an Associate Degree as a high school student. I benefited from many opportunities that are available at my high school, Early College. One advantage is the small class size. I would have never thought of being in a class with 15- 20 students. In addition, Early College offers advanced classes from Coastline College, which can be hard for a high school student. The help and support from the teacher, it has shown me that there are people that understand me. Taking advantage of all the programs they offer here at Early College Highschool, it has helped me to structure my future path beyond high school. In addition, I know that I wouldn’t have been as prepared enough for college as I am right now. I do know that I am taking advantage of getting a better education and a good mindset by going to Early College High school.
I liked how the school provides students to finish their General Education Requirements and possibly graduate with an Associate Degree. Even though the school doesn't have any sports or extracurriculars, it helps students stay focus on their education and not have to stress over sports. Finishing General Education Requirements means completing one or two years of college. That provides for students once they graduate to go straight into their career choice and be able to graduate early too.
Early College High School is a great school for students who are interested in attending college. The rigor of high school and of our dual enrollment courses with Coastline Community College is unmatched with any other general high school. Despite a small campus and nearly 250 students, school culture, spirit, safety, and diversity is clearly seen. Teachers are always there to aid students in their learning and often keep check on students who miss an assignment or seem distracted with something else in their lives. Early College High School staff is always there to aid in a students learning no matter who they are or what background they come from, we are all seen as equals.
However, Early College High School does have its downsides. The main one being that it only has a soccer team that is not a registered California Interscholastic Federation sports team. Until my senior year clubs did not exist at Early College High School, however no clubs like anti-hate to chess club exist.
