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.

I really enjoy taking college classes and having free time but I do miss seeing my friends at school everyday. It is a great school but you will have to look for social opportunities outside of school.

El Camino has given me more motivation to get my work done and prepared me for college better than any other school

I have loved my time at El Camino and it was a great fit for me. You are able to develop close relationships with teachers and staff and interact with them one on one. You can work at your own pace and can always get help if you need it. El Camino has a great community of students that are friendly, accepting, and diverse in their interests and talents.

If you are looking at this school because your child has a learning disability or is struggling in school, do not even go to an informational session (because they have a great program and you will want your kid to go there). We did, my daughter was accepted on a provisional basis and was threatened...
