My daughter is just finishing the 11th grade at El Camino. This year has been much better with regarding the teachers she has. The teachers she had last year with the exception of two just did not teach. They would give her loads of homework every night including weekends and holidays. She would have

My daughter and the other students in these classes were basically teaching themselves. I agree that the school is STILL overcrowded. I don't understand why we are still busing students in. El Camino is not a magnet school so I see no reason. Teacher are going to be loosing jobs and funds are going to be cut again. . . Stop busing in students!!! Read less

I completely agree with what the parents are saying. Your kid will get lost. Good luck on advise for college, even with a child at 4.2. They will show your child no direction. Nice people in general. Not motivated or interest in your child's future.

I am a student in El Camino Real High School. This school can be the best and the worst all depends on your perspective. We have the best, yes, with AP passing rates of high 80s to 100, strong academic teams such as Academic Decathlon and Science Bowl, but you will not get this benefit if you don't have

I am the parent of one student beginning his senior year and another who i pulled out of the school after one year. The school is great if your child is motivated. The school's downfall is not the fault of the teachers or administrators, because there are some excellent ones here. There are also good

The school is just too overcrowded and the class size too large.

My daughgter just completed 9th grade at El Camino Real. I am truly disappointed in the unmotivated teachers, the extremely rude staff and the fact that it is overcrowded. Luckily she is an A student so we did not have to deal with the teachers or staff too often, but when we did it was an awful experience!

I don't think I really appreciated the education I received here until I left. I graduated in 2003 after spending all 4 years at El Camino and, although it did not really prepare me at all for the real world, most of my classes did prepare me in some way for college. I took all Honors & AP courses &

I would like to see more control over the students as fights broke out (often between minority groups). I think they have stopped busing kids in though which should reduce 75% of the problems with that school.There should be more room for electives & classes geared toward student interests like interior design or architecture. However, they do have film making Read less
