I mean I guess El Capitan is a pretty good school, but because it's in a more rural area we deal with a lot of racism, sexism and homophobia. I personally don't know how they handle these issues when someone brings them up, but they don't really stop. The teachers prepare you pretty well but because of our district and the office at our school, we aren't told a lot. So I'm a junior and wasn't told any info about signing up for PSAT's, let alone the SAT's.

It was alright, certainly a high school, nothing too crazy. Did not change my life, just high school.

el cap is okay, and i've been ok with it enough that i've stayed for the past few years, but admin doesn't do a good job with helping for college admissions, and they don't make it easy for students to obtain accommodation if needed.
