Escondido Charter High School Reviews
Rating 4 out of 5 203 reviews
ECHS has one of the most rigorous curriculum that emphasizes strong language skills, develops critical thinking capabilities, and enhances problem-solving faculties. This public school has different learning options that students can take. The athletics department have improved since 2019. For example, last school year, the softball team won the CIF San Diego Section Playoffs for Division 5, making history as the first ever CIF playoff win title in school history. The football team has had three consecutive Pacific League wins. There is so much history that is made in our athletic department and academics department. I honestly think that the dress code shouldn't be allowed. The school has a strict dress code. I wish our school didn't have Senior exhibition. Seniors have to do a presentation on a topic they chose and present in front of a panel of judges. If students don't pass, they won't walk during the graduation ceremony.
I have spent the past 13 years of my life at charter and it has been a true blessing, but like anything else it has it’s ups and downs. The best thing about charter in my opinion is how much spirit the school carries especially with its own traditions. In addition to that is how caring the teachers are, well most of them at least. Unfortunately, there are teachers that don’t seem to care as much as others and cannot teach as well as others, but besides that there are plenty of resources to help us get through it. Another downside comes along with which program you are enrolled in. I was enrolled in The Traditional Classroom program which is five days a week and the counselor for that was not the best. She was nice and all but it felt that she held me back from taking classes that i was confident in. Not only that, but from others I’ve heard that she pressured them into taking classes that they did not want to take. My overall experience though, was great because in the end I graduated.
My experience at Escondido Charter High School has been one that will forever shape who I have become and who I will become as I continue to grow as a person. When I enrolled first in second grade to the elementary school, I was scared to meet new people. The best part of my experience at Charter was how welcoming they were and continue to be. The worst parts of the school are seeing how some other students do not appreciate the environment that is given at this school. I'd like to see the administration give further support to kids who have a harder time in school and finding ways to inspire kids to find their spark and run with it, because that is what I found in my time at this school.
