El Camino is a well diverse school. Theres different activities and clubs that you can take place in. Although I did have trouble with my councilor. Every student gets assigned a councilor and mine was just not committed as much to me and I felt like she was just trying to get me out of her office and seemed too busy. As for college readiness, there are certain classes you can take that are dedicated to college readiness and there is a room dedicated to give college and scholarship opportunities but i feel like its not advertised that much and not many students actually have the self motivation to go to it. Most teachers are actually dedicated o the students. I say most because there are some teachers that sit back, give you work, and expect you to self teach. If you get that class ,well that sucks, because the councilors don't let you change teachers! The class change policy is to change a class based off of subject or placement level. It's a good school for being a public school.
El Camino High School was your typical SoCal Suburban high school. You encountered kids of all types you could imagine of a teenage California stereotype. I think the best part of the environment was how everyone always minded their own business. El Camino is not that cliquey and every stranger was nice to you. Certain programs, clubs, groups and competitive groups strived with our coaches and teachers. It was easy to get work done in El Camino as teacher's were usually very welcoming and understanding. Definitely not a horrible school, but sometimes it lacked excitement and change.
I liked the teachers. Some of them really cared about the students. The administration was not the best sometimes, I never felt like they truly cared about the students. An aspect that I would like to see change in is the mental health attention for students. We had to fight for recognition. I also had a problem with the student body. The student body never did anything helpful, it was all about school spirit--even then wasn't executed.
