Mercedes Early College Academy Reviews
Rating 4.01 out of 5 135 reviews
The counselors would help the students with no hesitation on submitting their college form or assisting them in any way. I love the community because all of the students are so focused in their dual-enrollment classes, there is no time for drama. Everyone tries to help everyone as much as we can, and the teachers are very supportive as well.
A thing they should improve on is having tutoring for the kids who struggle to pass their TSI. The kids who still haven't passed them seem really stressed out because no matter how hard they try, they come out just a little bit short.

My experience of being here at Mercedes Early College Academy is really great, I enjoy attending this school, the faculty here are very supportive and help us with anything we might have trouble with. I would highly recommend attending this school not only for high school credits but for college credits as we are also dual enrollment. Although it might not be easy keeping up with both high school and college classes, as long as we try and stay on top of our assignments we will do achieve almost everything.
Mercedes Early College is a place that fosters growth and prepares its students for the future. The school and staff push students to go after their associates degree while in high school. Teaching them the hardships of college while also aiding them. Being a small school, the students really get to build great connections with all the teachers. And the teachers really do care about each student.
