Best: Cabrillo has pathways, pathways being classes that connect with the career you want. There are specific field trips, mentoring program and clubs for your pathways and are always optional. Some teachers discuss about your health and mental well being since it's important. They are really nice and there is a lot to talk about. Bad: some teachers are old school I don't like it

Cabrillo High School has such a diverse and welcoming community. There are many resources available for students. Such as the student center and the college and career center. They both help students achieve their best self. This schools has given me the resources to figure out no interest and hobbies. I've never experienced being truly interested in a subject but here it gave me a new path. The ceramics courses at Cabrillo made me discover a new interest that I wish to pursue in college and in the future. Cabrillo gives students the opportunity to discover their passions at their fingertips.

My son is doing exceptionally well at this school. He loves the small learning community he is a part of and really enjoys being a part of the NJROTC program which is top notch.
