Camarillo Heights Elementary School

Posted August 23, 2008

Both my children have attended this school for the last two years. The last principal was bad, but is now gone. The teachers, however, are excellent...caring, competent and yes, underpaid, as are all teachers in this District. I'm at a loss for why another Rater said you'd get a good education here if you 'had money' or 'volunteered'. Huh? How can that impact the education your child, one- of twenty in a class, gets? Anyway, this school has great parent involvement, lots of great activities, like the annual 5th grade/1st grade hoedown. My boy loved it! There is alot of older child mentoring of younger children. It makes the older kids act better because they are looked up to, and the younger children want to act better so the older kids think they're cool. Lots to love at this school.

The '07-'08 school year is the second year my children have attended this school. I am truly disappointed in this school. Last year wasn't all that great, however, the school sank quickly under the 'leadership' of the new principal Robert Bassett. The man is incompetant, disrespectful, and unprofessional. Thank goodness he won't be returning next year. The school teaches to the test just to get a high rating and some of the teachers are truly lousy, probably due to the fact they are the lowest paid in the county. If you have money and/or tons of time to volunteer, your kids will do just great at this school. I moved to the area just to have my children attend this school and regret it now.

I have been at Camarillo Heights for six years now with three children. I absolutely love it. The teachers have been wonderful. One fifth grade teacher provides extra sports activities all year long during lunch. This has been a great experience for all my kids. I will be so sad if it is closed.
