My experience at El Camino now looking back at it has been an amazing experience. I have had some rough times, but as well as good ones. My best ones would be playing soccer and volleyball while making lots a new friends. Being a part of Student Government has taught me good skills like communication, leadership, and how to take on a big advent. My worst experiences would be accepting the fact that I didn't get a good grade on a test and having to talk to the teacher on how to get my grade back up. I have never backed down from a challenge and I like to thing that the bad experience could always have a good outcome if you work hard to change it.

coming from a school that didn't really care much about my education and entering el camino, a school that has really been teaching, a school where i have actually been learning and wanting to pay attention because the teachers actually care about your education, going to school knowing you'll be learning something everyday instead of feeling like you're just there to do work and graduate. this school really is a great school

I am having a great experience within my courses and with my teachers. The school itself could use some upgrades and a stronger athletic department.

My child completed freshman year at EC and it was a great experience. My family can attest to the difference between EC and another high school down by the river for which another family member attended and graduated from; and EC is currently a winner in comparison. The block 4X4 schedule was someth...

I partially wish I went to another school during my high school career during Junior and Senior year due to the lack of opportunities at this school now, the lack of communication now, the sometimes insane homework loads (Freshman and Sophmore Year), and the overall student body vibe (all four years...
