GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best part about El Camino is the diversity, this leads too many new friendships we can bond with people who have different cultures. El Camino offers so many activities for students to participate in such as ASB, sports, cheer, dance, band, etc. We have so many teachers who are willing to open up to us and create bonds with us and they want us to succeed. Our school has more opportunities then other neighboring schools, we offer more with academics and sports wise.
