My three kids attended Camino Pablo and I'm so grateful for the entire staff. I couldn't have hoped more committed teachers. I love how they incorporated experiential learning and taught kids how to work in groups.

I was quite nervous about the transition from elementary to middle school. What a great school for my kids. Committed teachers, unique clubs to get involved with, sports, interesting electives. I'm grateful for the top notch local schools.

My son has attended for 3 years. It’s a good school, not great. Considering the community it’s located in, there should be a good deal more financial support than it currently receives. But, besides parents with children currently in attendance, the wealthy locals are mainly concerned with their own interests from both a financial and a community agenda perspective. A sizable amount of the school funding comes from donations rather than actual community support.The school seems behind in terms of facilities (condition) and programs considering the resources available. Some of the better High Schools have more access to college programs this school doesn’t have. There’s also a lack of good after school programs. The ones available are of a superficial nature. There seems to be a disconnect between the perception of the quality of school programs and the reality. I can give a personal example. At my sons middle school, debate was offered as PART of the curriculum. This was a terrific series of classes that taught critical thinking, public speaking, teamwork, etc. My son was part of this program and was extremely passionate about it, along with many of his friends. It was a really wonderful and inspiring experience. However, Campo doesn’t have it at all. Not only did I find this extremely depressing but I couldn’t understand why such a popular program at the Middle school would have no next level at the High school. That being said, during freshman indoctrination for the parents, the administration made quite a point of bragging about the donations they had received and soliciting more. It seems to me the donations drive isn’t sufficient if they’re cutting programs. Just papering over the cracks. I would say the quality of teaching is good, but not above average. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of inspiration (especially in the English classes) but mostly preparation. They seem to focus a lot on their reputation for test scoring.Anyway, it’s been a good school. Just a little disappointing.
