Adolfo Camarillo High School, Camarillo | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

High school can be a difficult time for lots of students, so it’s not surprising there are some angry and negative reviews here. On the other hand, I had two kids who went to this school recently, between 2004-2010 They both spent all four years here and were involved in sports and took the AP classes; which allowed them to both go into college at advanced levels. The high school staff was similar to many other schools, some very good and some very questionably able to manage classes. Prior to the current principal Mr. Lipman, there was someone unsuited for the job, but she was fired in 2005. Parent involvement also runs the gamut from very-involved to not-at-all involved. I find that the more involved a parent is – the better experience their student will have. Doing things such as going to PTA meetings, where the principal regularly talks to the parents & explains what’s going on in the school and the district. Going to Parent Meetings for sports, arts, drama, band, etc. – whatever your kid is interested in- also helps kids (and parents) understand how things are determined, chosen, scored, etc. Also, going to back-to-school nights to meet teachers and get info on class expectations and grading policies and stuff kids may not comprehend in class.
I believe how a kid functions in high school is a predictor of how they will function in the larger world, upon graduation. Parents can help, by participation themselves!

just an okay school I guess. A lot of bad teachers. But there are a couple very professional, very extraordinary teachers that care about there students and want them to a succeed. There’s pros and cons to every school. personally id really like to go to rio instead. for a few reasons. 1 the ASB is just self centered (my opinion) and don’t care to much about the other clubs at this school. the asb concerns themselves with sports. ex: Football, basketball, and swimming/ water polo. BUT they forget about the Drama club, Band, Agriculture AND the students. they do celebrate birthdays or 1/2 birthdays. That’s Great!!… but please give everyone the birthday buttons. I know it im probably sounding stupid and immature about this but the reason why im saying this is that my Freshman year there was an ASB students birthday in my class and the Asb brought balloons, cake, the button and a banner and just kind of forgot about me. They have missed multiple of my friends birthdays All 4yrs. they have missed 2 of mine so far… I have 2 birthday buttons though but they were form my friends and they felt bad. So over all Some good kids Some bad A lot of bad Teachers but a few good ones.
