I am very disappointed with the staff here. They just keep giving me the run around when I'm trying to find my schedule.
Despite all of the hype that is available, this school is not all that it's cracked up to be. The school is going on it's fourth year and, being with the school the entire time, I can honestly say that there are too many problems. For starters, each new class that is being accepted seems to be going through a less strenuous selection than the prior. Because of the lower classes the students of Travis have already been banned from several local shops, reprimanded by the college, and even kicked out of San Pedro Park! And while the teachers are fantastic, the administrative staff is lacking. (We are on principal AND counselor number three already). Several times when I have personally gone to ask for help, they have been too busy to even acknowledge a concern about my registered courses at SAC - or, even worse, I have found out about my classes the day of (or after) their actual start time. Generally the students are kept totally in the dark until very last minute, about everything from text books to locations and it is just very befuddling. Now, I know that this is a fairly new school and that there will be kinks to work through; but Travis ECHS is already hitting quite a few bumps.
Great school for kids that are hoping to jump ahead of their class. The teachers' attitudes are positive and they will work with students and make themselves available to them, as needed. It's a relatively new program so there are a few glitches with schedules but the counselors are working towards making it a very successful program. Thus far, my child is enjoying the dual-credit program.
Awesome College Experience, I'm a 16 year old with nothing but college classes! EXCELLENT Teachers willing to help you at the high school!
This School Is An Alright School. There Are Plenty Of People Willing To Help You Out. The First Year, I Believe Was The Best Year So Far And The Years To Come Will Be Even More Challenging Than The Last.
