Read what parents are saying about Campolindo High SchoolMy 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.
Posted by a parent on 4/13/2022Best public high school I could ever ask for. My child (504 plan) is fully supported and the teachers, staff, and admin are top notch. Thank you Campolindo.
Posted by a parent on 1/15/2021Although I do not have 4 years of experience at Campo, I have enough to know why I ultimately am transferring after one year. The climate at Campo is like a hierarchy, and unless you are one of the stars on a sports team, you probably feel unequal. The leadership seems to be more concerned with looking like a good academic school than the actual mental health of many of the students. That being said, the academics are undeniably good, but critical thinking and life skill enhancing do not exist. For many people, Campolindo is a great all around school, and you can see that side of it, but for the majority of people, Campo is a bad environment that isolates certain groups of students. Unless you are a student at the school, it is hard to know what exactly goes on under the "great school" facade. As a student of color, and on behalf of many (not all) of the students of color (and other isolated groups of students) at Campo, this school makes you feel weaker and unwelcome.
Posted by a student on 3/24/2020I have three children who have gone to campo. Never have I been to a school meeting where tutoring is recommended regardless of ability of children. (Do you have such a low experience of your own staff?) I have heard alot of how if you are an exceptional child, you will do well. If not, bad luck.
Posted by a parent on 1/23/2020OK if you don't clash with the self-righteous and incompetent administrative staff.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe had two children graduate from Del Rey, one from K-5 and the other from TK-5. The younger had their last few years there during COVID-19. We feel very fortunate to have had caring teachers who truly love what they do for both our kids. They all were very supportive and helped our children establish a love of learning that has stuck with them in their years into middle and high school. It is true, that the schools do rely on community support to help them maintain the small classroom sizes and other activities that are important to their education. Plus, the kids can walk or bike to all schools until 12th grade, which is a rare find in this area. We couldn't be happier living in a community that knows how important having access to excellent public education is and are truly grateful to have had our children go to Del Rey.Parent Review1mo ago - Glorietta Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFabulous school and community. Teachers are amazing. Parents are engaged. There is a strong social-emotional component that encourages children to focus on positive character traits to become model citizens. All in all, Glorietta is a very special place.One of the teachers who is referenced in some of the negative reviews below is no longer at the school.Parent Review3y ago - Burton Valley Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is the best thing that could happen to a child. It creates a happy and joyful environment for your child and endless education. In the classroom teachers create very safe places for your children to grow with their peers and learn discipline. The community is all very close, the small size of this school allows it to create a family that you wouldn’t be able to get from many other schools. If you don’t send your child to this school you are truly missing out.Other Review2y ago - Contra Costa Jewish Day School
