Summary

Elizabeth City Pasquotank Early College is a small public early college high school in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, serving about 115 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Elizabeth City–Pasquotank Public Schools district.

The school ranks #3 out of 662 North Carolina high schools for 2025–26 with a five-star rating, and reports 100% proficiency in Biology, English II, and Math I on End-of-Course exams. That puts it far above the district's two traditional high schools — Pasquotank County High and Northeastern High — which sit in the middle or bottom half of state rankings and report Math I proficiency of just 26.9% and 15.8%. It even outperforms nearby Camden Early College High, which is ranked #23 statewide and posted strong but slightly lower subject scores (93.9% in English II and 93.8% in Math I) while serving a far more affluent student body.

The accomplishment is especially notable given virtually the entire student body (97.4%) qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch — a poverty rate dramatically higher than nearby programs like The JP Knapp ECH (i)School (22.3%). Despite that, low-income students at this school rank #28 out of 606 statewide, and female and male students both rank in the top five among their peers. The school has also climbed quickly — it ranked #249 out of 594 in 2020–21 before posting steady gains in every subject. Its on-time graduation rate of 88.9% (2023–24) is well above the district's 75.1% but slightly trails the state average, so the school isn't perfect. For families seeking an academically rigorous, results-driven education, however, it's an exceptional outlier.
