Capuchino High School

My son is in Cap's pre IB classes and he'll be finishing his fresman year in 2 weeks. The school environment is safe, new constructed buildings are in progress with new facilities to enhance positive learning. The teachers are very helpful and hard working. The principal and vice principals are very involved with student activities. My son's classes are challenging but we believe that Cap will prepare him for college and his choosen carrer.

I agree with what the last student says. They are dedicated and willing to put in extra hours. But only for the students they they believe deserve it. I was a struggling student at this school and was shown no extra help or even attention when i asked for it. There was only one person who was willing to help me when i needed it, and that was dean francisco pepin. Unfortinately i do not know if he is still there, but the support he showed me was enough after recieving no motivation from any teachers. If there is one reason to attend this school, its dean pepin.

I just graduated from Capuchino High School, and I must say that it has been great. The teachers and faculty are extremely dedicated and willing to put in the extra hours necessary to have their students succeed. the IB English, Science, history, and Math teachers are amazing, and they have really shown me as a student that I can succeed and do well if I try my best and put forth an effort. I shall be attending Dartmouth College in the fall, and it is in part thanks to this school, the faculty, and my teachers!

Capuchino is one of the best high schools in the district. Not only are the people helpful, they are kind spirited... especially school spirited. They have a great visual arts program which i have been involved in for two years now. also, i was involved in the ib program which i highly recommend. Its got a beautiful campus and a friendly, laid back staff. It really is a great school.

Im a sophmore at cap, and i havent seen a fight exept once. and that was like in the beginning of freshman year. stop being a loser to your kid and let them fo to cap. everyones great, we have great school spirit and everyones very helpfull. especially the teachers. and on top of that cap has IB classes, which Mills dosent. Send your kid here! Its great.

The teachers at Cap are wonderful. All of them are young, eager and enthusiastic about teaching. My daughter's experience has been wonderful and I would recommend this school to anyone looking. The classes are small, which is great, and the teachers truly care about their students. They are always available to help their students with whatever problems they may have. The administation is always welcoming, and answers all questions with patience and kindness, no matter how silly the question might be

This school is great! It has a very friendly atmosphere and it is very diverse. They have an organized system, and they are strict but not too strict on the students. All the teachers are great! They make all the classes fun and they all teach well and know their topic/lesson by heart. They have a lot of fun clubs and activities that you can join. People here treat everyone equally, and the best part is, they have the IB program which not all the schools here in this side of the Bay Area have
