Ector College Prep
-
Ector College Prep is a public middle school serving grades 6-8, operated by Third Future Schools in collaboration with Ector County ISD. Ector College Prep utilizes Third Future Schools’ instructional model which has historically proven to significantly narrow achievement gaps and raise student proficiency. The model is built on the understanding that the number one variable in raising student proficiency is improving the quality of everyday instruction.
Ector College Prep also differentiates itself from other middle school campuses by providing students with the unique opportunity to engage in widely diverse elective courses through their Dyad model, many of which are taught by expert industry partners in our community.

Curriculum
The Ector College Prep curriculum is intensely focused on student academic achievement, which is realized through high quality instruction and leadership density.
At Ector College Prep, we realize that all students do not learn in the same way or at the same pace. Thus, we adjust our curriculum and scheduling in order to grow student agency and increase students' capacity to learn how to learn.
A significant portion of our efforts are centered around full implementation of the Dyad model, which will shift some time spent on learning content to competencies gained through experiences and activities.
