SPRING EARLY COLLEGE ACADEMY

SPRING EARLY COLLEGE ACADEMY is a Title I public high school that is part of the SPRING ISD school district, located in HOUSTON, TX with about 417 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 23 teachers, SPRING EARLY COLLEGE ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

SPRING EARLY COLLEGE ACADEMY (SECA), located in Houston and part of the Spring Independent School District, is a specialized high school designed to provide students with a rigorous academic experience centered on college readiness.

Because of its specialized focus, SECA serves students who are typically highly motivated and looking for an accelerated path toward their post-secondary goals. The curriculum is heavily influenced by a partnership with local community colleges, creating a seamless transition from secondary to collegiate studies.
