Press release from the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District:

March 11 2020

[Fairfield, CA],: Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District’s Early College High School(ECHS) program is growing! In the 2020-2021 school year, ECHS will add 68 students to the 247 students that they currently serve. The new additional students will be split evenly between the ninth and tenth grades. An additional 34 students will be added to the freshman classes in the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 school years to increase the overall school population to nearly 400. The extra capacity will alleviate a growing waitlist of students eager to enter the successful program.

FSUSD is grateful for its partnership with Solano Community College. Now in its sixth year, ECHS started in August of 2014 with 48 ninth-grade students. ECHS gives students a unique opportunity to attend high school on a college campus and take a significant number of college courses for free while they satisfy their high school diploma requirements. This opportunity is made possible through the vision and ingenuity of Solano Community College’s board, president, and staff who have worked hard to provide outstanding facilities for the growing campus.

The success of Early College High School is undeniable. After two years of graduating seniors, ECHS maintains a 100% high school graduation rate. The class of 2019 included 43 graduates with an average college GPA of 3.31. Over 40% of the graduating class earned associate degrees from Solano Community College.
