  1. #1 Best Public High Schools in Cabarrus CountyCabarrus-Kannapolis Early College High SchoolCabarrus County Schools, NC·9-12·Rating 4.13 out of 5 106 reviewsSenior: Overall, I have had an extremely positive experience at Cabarrus-Kannapolis Early College High School. The best part by far is how active and engaged our teachers are with students. They devote time and energy to preparing us for success in college and beyond. I feel like teachers here genuinely care about seeing students thrive. We develop close relationships since classes are smaller, allowing more personal guidance. Administrators also make dedicated efforts to foster connections through things like learning our names and checking in. I always know I can talk to staff about anything. They empower me to take ownership of my learning. In terms of improvements, I would enjoy seeing more school-wide activities that unite students across grades. With our demanding course loads, we have fewer chances to come together. Expanding things like clubs, events, and assemblies would help build bonds outside academics to feel more tied to CKECHS. More social connections could alleviate stress....

Of course there are many ambitious and driven, disciplined people, but there are also as many undetermined people. Then there's the mens soccer team that I heard about, not the best rumors. It would be nice to see more people work harder to achieve better lives since everyone tells us our sky's the limit, that there are an infinite amount of possibilities that lays in our futures.

Like our school is consisting of two mobile classroom buildings, which isn’t very safe in the event of a blackout or weather concerns.

I was team captain of the volleyball team and the group commander of the JROTC unit. Those aspects of the school made my entire high school experience fun! I feel that the academic courses adequately prepared me for college; however, there was a decline in AP course availability in the math and science realm because many teachers left our school. Because of this, I had to rely on online courses which limited my education. Overall, I feel that I belong at my high school and the staff treats me like family. I value staying involved in the extracurricular activities at my high school because I love that I am able to learn, meet new people, and become more involved within the community.
