The building environment itself is unhealthy, staff and students getting very sick, and admin covered it up. Students need to go to a school where admin and teachers are held accountable for their learning. Where it says 100 percent of the teachers here are licensed, I highly disagree. There were so many who were teaching on a sub license, very unqualified, but they are a charter and can get away with it. It does not seem to have changed much since almost getting shut down 15+ years ago.

Most staff have the same expectations for all students to my knowledge. Some teachers are very stringent in maintaining a high academic environment.

This school has really changed over the past two years. There are some really good teachers who are investing themselves in the students and the school. Funding has always been an issue in schools and El Camino Real is no different. Still the school does the best job it can with what it has. Within the teachers and students, a family atmosphere exists and each student is held to high expectations. The schools NWEA and PARCC scores have continued to improve under this environment. My knowledge on parent and administration relations is minimal, however anytime I need something from administration they clearly communicate whether it can be done or not within the confines of the resources.

El Camino is very unorganized. Office personal is the worst. They have no struture when it comes down to discipline issues. Their are some great teachers who teach middle school there. A few of them not so great!

The teachers try very hard to give the kids the best instruction, but it is really hard with VERY little support from the administration. Also, no follow through with policies that are in the student/parent handbook and very little communication from the office staff.

Worst school ever! Teachers be little the kids and don't listen to the kids. Staff doesn't know anything. Last year teachers were bullying the students, for proof search el camino real academy under local news online. So many bad things to say about this school

This school is the worse, the office staff knows nothing! the school is run by the clerical assistant. The principal never shows her face.
