El Capitan High School

Posted May 4, 2009

I had 3 children attend and graduate from El Cap. I found the admin. staff excellent. They went far beyond my expectations. All 3 kids are very successful and I believe it's in part to the dedication of the staff. J. Herman is the best academic advisor around. My kids all loved Annie the Finance Clerk. Mr. Coulsby is just about the best teacher and mentor that you could ask for. I liked the smaller size of the school and feel I made a good choice when selecting El Capitan as my students high school.

I am a parent of several students at this school. The administrative staff's ineffective leadership has impacted the academics, which are below average as the test scores indicate. The support staff is perceived as unfriendly and parent involvement is not readily welcomed. The safety of the students is not a high priority and often students are unsupervised at extracurricular activities. I have encountered many inappropriate behaviors on campus, not the least of which are foul language and PDA. On a positive note, I have found most teachers to be caring and easy to communicate with.

The school is not engaging. It isn't safe and lacks basic respect for students and parents from administration to the students. That's a reflection of the leadership from the principal on down and I'm not sure what the Mission is, except to promote sports. We have moved our student to a school we believe is safer, respectful and will prepare her for the challenges of college
