GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

One of the best things about Judson Early College Academy is that you do even see a school fight happen because the faculty makes sure that doesn't happen at all.

The best parts of this school is how small it is and that they keep you in cohorts, so in a way everyone is connected to each other and you're able to stay connected to the people in your cohort for the next 4 years which is beneficial because students tend to create strong connections with their cohorts. The worst parts of my experience is not having many extracurriculars at this school, given that I play volleyball and enjoy cybersecurity none of that similar to it was presented at my school as a class, club, or activity.

I have attended Judson Early College Academy since 2021 and I have grown so much since I first started out here. It is very social school because each student body is a limited number. This is school is not as big as other public high schools, we focus on academics more than anything. Attending this school will perfectly set you up for your future college goals after high school.
