School is terrible so far; teachers not paying attention to students in class, no work being done (theyre actually just spending full days drawing and playing games), and the school is dangerous. Yesterday alone there were cops around the school after school handling some stuff that went down, and my kid was beat up IN CLASS.
Would never recommend this school or teachers.

I wen to this school last year and, quite frankly, I didn't enjoy any day I went there. The teachers and the students were very nice and all, but coming from New York, where the standards of learning are a lot higher than what it is in California, it was just not very good. I had a 4.0 all year and didn't even apply myself as much as I could have. I think this school is okay if you're just trying to have a mediocre education, but if you're trying to be something in life either attend a private school, as I'm doing for high school currently, or do your research on schools. The higher the test scores, the better the education. ~A displeased alumnus

I really like this school and the teachers are great some kids do have a bad behavior but ALL THE SCHOOL have kids like that and just because of those kids are like that doesn't mean everyone is like that everything is going better now and this school is totally the best one in El Cajon it just takes someone to see it

I went to this school in 2003. While I was attending this school ,I don't remember any teacher caring about me. One principal did care about me and she helped me so much. The teachers however were only concerned with behavioral problem students had. I don't remember a teacher ever helping as an individual teen.

love the school, the teachers make me smile every day i attend. alot of the students are very rude and really dont respect the teachers. a few girls i know get picked on way too much by students but teachers could try harder to resolve this issue. in the three years i have been here i think its a great school and you wont find a school were kids dont pick on others. everyday is new and fun. i find it not hard to get a good grade as long as i try!
