Oxnard High School

This was a great school with an unusual campus that is more like a community college than a typical high school. The staff was decent and teachers seemed genuinely interested in their students.

Since our principal 3 years ago changed the original 6 periods to a blog schedule with 4 periods and 4 terms for the year, the school is going downhill. Except our mock trial and Acadeca are great achievement programs. The great teachers who were against the new blog system, quitted and went to other schools. They wanted to help the students to succeed. Now there are 8 courses a year instead of 6, that means there is less time for each course then with 6 periods. How to squeeze all the info in? Also the courses students have in the first part of the year are forgotten by most of them when they have to do the state exams and AP's. After 3 years of this program, the school is going back to a kind of old schedule. Not totally, because of budget crisis trouble. I was never for it.

Pretty awesome school. Great sports teams. Watch out for the sea-gulls at lunch time. You are bound to get hit once.
