Casa Roble Fundamental High School

The students are allowed to swear and threaten students at sports games without any administration intervening. They also wrote graffiti on a local high school's buildings. Is this the inner city?

Given that this school is a "fundamental" school, the level of parent involvement is awesome. The curriculum is very complete, ranging from remedial classes for children who need extra help, to AP classes for kids who want to be academically challenged. The teachers, for the most part, seem to enjoy their jobs and truly enjoy being around children. The administration is approachable and helpful. There is a tremendous selection of extracurricular activities - more than I have seen at any other high school. The block system is fantastic. I have no complaints and highly recommend this school.

This schools leadership has been a challenge for us as parents. Each year our son has had a teacher whose only interest is in following the curriculm and leaving our son (an honor student) behind. There is no comparison of this school to a nearby HS which is very transparent on their website.

Well , i went to this school, and i absoloutly hated it. The staff is so mean they totally leave you behind and if you dont catch up quick you fail! i mean i reccomend this school for extremly smrt students but for students that need some extra help on difficult stuff like me, do not go there! and plus im not trying to say nothing bad but im mexican and the staff and teachers and students treated me horrible like if i was some kind of animal.? They always ignore me never help me out or nothing i finally spoke to my mom and she switched me i told her i just couldnt take it anymore and seriously i didnt learn nothing what so ever going there i didnt even want to go to school. Oh to top it theres like no african americans nor mexicans nor asians):

Casa has been a wonderful place for my special needs student. They work well with him and his fellow students accept him unlike the other schools we have been to.

All 3 of my children graduated from Casa Roble HS. I found the teachers to be attentive, knowledgeable of their subjects, in control of their classrooms and good at engaging students in the learning process. The AP and Honors programs were excellent. I always smile and think fondly of this great school and the good education and friends that my kids had there.

I graduated from Casa in 06. I thoroughly enjoyed the honors and AP program there, I found it to be challenging without burning me out before even leaving for college. For those saying the teachers or staff were unresponsive, I find myself surprised. I worked closely with several teachers, be it through clubs or Site council, and I found them always ready to listen or to lend a hand. I think Casa is a good, solid start for any college. They provide materials each year that tell you what classes are required by state schools, and a counseling session to try and guide you towards the right goals for college. I highly reccomend this school for your children. Also, the extracurriculars really are amazing! An awesome auto shop, a good FFA program, and tons of art classes, as well as foods and foreign languages.

If your child must suffer thru four years at a California public school, this is a good one. Many extra-curricular activities are offered. Their athletics program is top-notch. The block system is good preparation for the rigors of college. Communication with the educators is good. Overall I quite pleased with the school.
