Early College High School

Posted: October 18, 2015

The focus of the school goes beyond providing education for students--it helps students plan their future. Students are required to adapt quick to the school environment, where regular classes go twice as fast compared to other schools that surrounds it because the course is only one semester long instead of two semesters. Because of that, students almost complete their high school graduation requirements while still being a sophomore! Students spend their remaining two years working on their Associate's degree, and most of them, if they do not change career paths, even get to work in their Bachelor's degree for their last semester of their high school senior year! The school pays for all college expenses, high school classes are really of good help, the school is guarded by charismatic securities all the time, has the most wonderful yet small campus in New Mexico, and students have access to different technological tools--there are IPad tablets and laptops available in almost every classroom, almost every classroom contains three good-quality smart boards that are located around the classroom, there is a Mac lab available for students, and laptops available for check out for students if they need access to one from home. To conclude, it was a great exeprience and I love the different engineering, medical, criminal justice, along with other careers, that the school offers. Your kid will obtain a good education here and will be helped by the school to go beyond just a high school graduation. Although the school name, grade level, and contact info are incorrect. I was a junior when it was finally from grade levels 9-12. Now it is called Arrowhead Park Early College High School, from grade levels 9-12, and the address is now 3600 Arrowhead Dr, Las Cruces, NM, 88011, which is in the New Mexico State University area and just a few blocks away from its previous location. I hope this gets fixed.

There is a great amount of homework assigned each day, but I feel this is good for students because it helps them create a routine, displine, and responsibility, that will better prepare them to be at the level of college classes.

Teachers are good educated, organized, know what they are doing, and encourage their students to try hard, and never give up. The school's motto is "Failure is not an option". Not only that, but a parent can feel safe knowing that their children are backed by security all the time, and also having the support of the police of NMSU. Furthermore, the school has cameras in every place that work all the time.
