Adolfo Camarillo High School

The CP classes are far too simple and the honors classes are hit and miss, mainly just tons of homework. The classes are filled to the maximum and the best teachers are extremely difficult to get. Outstanding teachers are rare; most are average. On site daycare for children of students (Little Scorps) - and there is actually a daycare elective (students care for students' children). Volleyball program unorganized and political. Office staff ok. Counselors overworked, stressed but kind. Lipman is a difficult person to deal with, terrible bedside manner and seems to care little about students. Very unwelcoming to parents and students.

Here's what all the locals already know: in the last few years, so many unhappy parents/students have transferred out of this school to Newbury Park High School (which is in a different district), that now Oxnard Union District won't allow any more transfers. See Ventura County Star article on 1-12-12, "Oxnard Union High School District to tighten its transfer policies". Says everything about the attitude, doesn't it, that the District's response to unhappy parents/kids is not to improve, but just restrict people from leaving.

Been trying to get help about an issue im having at this high school for about two weeks now. Been sent to four different people and all they have done is sent me in a circle around to each other. Who knew it was so hard to get a little help. If there were a choice for no stars to rate this school i surely would have been glad to choose it. People in the office don't care about the kids. and now it comes to my attention that they don't even care when the parents get involved. Not helping means not doing their job. Long story made short... the people who work at this school are the most irresponsible people i have ever come across. I would suggest transferring to another school if your headed for Camarillo High.

Administration does not crack down on drugs like they say they do. Trust me, they don't! Teachers often seem to hate their job, or teach too slow or fast! Aside from sports and our acheivements not mentioned, I would NEVER go here

It' the best. Lots of learning and fun times. We're going on the third generation there.

Staff and administration are very self serving. Office staff is never availible to children or parents with questions or help. Students are often picked on by teaching staff.

I attended this school for my 9th grade year. My school before was very good, but the classes were few. I was excited that there were quite a few classes offered at ACHS. However, many of my teachers seemed uninterested in their topics and led to unexciting classes. When teachers aren't motivated it makes kids less interested and, in my situation, led to dropping grade reports due to the fact I wasn't interested in the class.

My son graduated from here and was very ill prepared for college. Too many dinosaur teachers. The high school district Oxnard Union has no commitment to Camarillo and justs wants their tax dollars. If you want a first rate high school education go to a Conej Valley school.

The entire administration team has improved the quality of learning at ACHS. I considered sending my child elsewhere, but am very please that I didn't. The principal listens to the parents. There are many opportunities for parent involvement. The school has a very strong and capable PTSA. Thank you to administration, teachers, and involved parents for your outstanding job.
