Teacher quality

Parent involvement
I have never dealt with such rude unprofessional counseling and register staff Have a great day!
I look forward to volunteering at Encina every year! I love their staff and have been pleased with their efforts and the growth they have and are striving for. I always can depend on calls for upcoming events and if their are any issues related to the school or my child.

Encina is a really good school and i feel that it's been streorytyped. The teachers really do care about there students and there's alot of one on one time due to the small class sizes. I transfered from El Camino my junior year and i feel that I'm finally getting the education i desreved.

This is a Great School and there are a lot of different nationalities and great intelligent students in this school.
—Submitted by Representin, a student
I feel that Encina is an all right school. The teachers very much do care and try very hard to teach. One teacher especially Mrs. Begg, my Honors English teacher. We are now creating a campaign to make the school lunches better. If the school luches were better more students would be motivated.

great teachers, very kind and involved teachers, very much stereotyped!
—Submitted by a parent
Poor quality of education. This school is another waste of tax dollars in the San Juan USD. Parental involvement by the administration is not well received at all. I wonder if they have any sort of 'plan' at all.
—Submitted by a parent
This school is dedicated to excellence and supporting all students in the learning process. The teachers are well trained and are heavily involved in their students' lives.
—Submitted by David Levis, a teacher
I feel encina could benefit from having more funds put into their school. The students are lacking in their sports quality of coaches which if the student is a well rounded athlete this could hinder his chances for a athletic scholorship. The uniforms are non-existent which affects the spirit and attitude of the players, the freshmans haved no cheerleading squad. Academics I feel the fact that there are four classes instead of 6 makes the time allotted for learning individual subjects shorter.
—Submitted by a parent
My opinion is that it is not one of the better schools in this area. there is a low level of parental involvement. and academics is somewhat lower than the other schools in this area.
—Submitted by a parent
Encina High does not have a good learning environment. Parental involvment is greeted with skepticism. discipline is a large problem.
—Submitted by Steve, a parent
I am currently A student at Encina and I think that there are a few teachers at this school that really care about the success of their students. I know that there is talk about how low our test scores are and everything but I honestly do not believe that we are below other schools. I think that one of the reasons we are considered a 'low performance' school is the way we get tested. Considering that we are on a block schedule we do not get the same chance to be tested right after after we take the class that we are being tested on. Unlike other schools who take the same classes all year long. Although I do think that we have many dedicated teachers. There are some who just dont care. Overall I think that Encina is an alright school. But could be improved.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

In 2011-2012 California used the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
