Campolindo High School

Although I do not have 4 years of experience at Campo, I have enough to know why I ultimately am transferring after one year. The climate at Campo is like a hierarchy, and unless you are one of the stars on a sports team, you probably feel unequal. The leadership seems to be more concerned with looking like a good academic school than the actual mental health of many of the students. That being said, the academics are undeniably good, but critical thinking and life skill enhancing do not exist. For many people, Campolindo is a great all around school, and you can see that side of it, but for the majority of people, Campo is a bad environment that isolates certain groups of students. Unless you are a student at the school, it is hard to know what exactly goes on under the "great school" facade. As a student of color, and on behalf of many (not all) of the students of color (and other isolated groups of students) at Campo, this school makes you feel weaker and unwelcome.

I have three children who have gone to campo. Never have I been to a school meeting where tutoring is recommended regardless of ability of children. (Do you have such a low experience of your own staff?) I have heard alot of how if you are an exceptional child, you will do well. If not, bad luck.

OK if you don't clash with the self-righteous and incompetent administrative staff.
