Enrollment Procedure

Students apply to DECHS in the late fall of their 8th grade year from nine feeder middle schools in three districts as well as home and private schools. All applications are forwarded to a third party who performs a randomized lottery to establish each cohort.  Over the past six years, an average of 120 students have applied each year for the 40 available cohort spaces allotted by DDCC.
 
Davidson Early College High School is a partnership between Davidson Davie Community College, Davidson County Schools, Lexington City Schools, and Thomasville City Schools. The school is a Cooperative and Innovative High School.
