EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL

EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the ROSWELL school district, located in ROSWELL, NM with about 155 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 9 teachers, EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL (ECHS) in Roswell, New Mexico, is an innovative educational institution located on the campus of Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell. Designed to bridge the gap between secondary and post-secondary education, the school offers students a unique opportunity to earn both a high school diploma and an associate degree—or significant transferable college credit—simultaneously. By integrating high school coursework with college-level academics, ECHS provides a rigorous, supportive environment that helps students prepare for the demands of higher education and professional careers.

The school emphasizes a "college-going" culture, granting students access to university resources, facilities, and instruction while they are still in high school. This model is particularly beneficial for students who are looking for a head start on their post-secondary goals, as it reduces the time and financial burden associated with earning a degree. Located at the ENMU-Roswell campus, the school fosters a mature learning environment, empowering students to take ownership of their academic trajectory and gain the skills necessary to succeed in a college setting long before they graduate.
