I found a lot of friends here and allot of the staff makes an effort to make students learn call comfortably. However this is from the view of a Honors and AP student. I do recognize that larger classes have a harder time with this along with people with lower GPAs. I would also like to point out that certain programs get more money than others, the largest to my knowledge being football, while other programs such as smaller clubs and sports don't get any at all. In comparison football gets fireworks and filed hockey has mismatched game jerseys. However there are many clubs and activities to explore as well as a good language and culture programs with different international opportunities as well. Another good program if our FFA, agriculture, program were students are learning about the field in depth. More reviews exist and multiple websites have more technical information if you wish to find it. Hope this helps!
A school is a school, however, El Cap has an amazing Agriculture Program tied into Future Farmers of America (FFA). FFA is not about being a future farmer (however, it does support it), it's about leadership. This school is 1 of two high schools that provide this program at no cost, and you learn from it. You might even get a major in it. It's the beginning of your career!
El Cap is just alright. The students there are a mixed bag. There are no problems with race or religion or whathaveyou, but I find that most of the problems the school faces come directly from the people running and managing the school. The sports programs are poorly managed and there is no effort to improve their performance. And the entire music program is neglected. Our former Band teacher was essentially bullied by the rest of the upper management into leaving. All in all, the school's just okay.
