SCHOOL REVIEWS AND RATINGS IN CA

So this is a message to any incoming freshman or future CAMS prospectsnnCAMS puts on this show of being very involved and inviting in the science and math fields for students wanting to pursue those fields They tell you So this is a message to any incoming freshman or future CAMS prospectsnnCAMS puts on this show of being very involved and inviting in the science and math fields for students wanting to pursue those fields They tell you all the things you want to hear about their high ranking and opportunities along with saying the step up you have compared to other students when applying to college Im here to tell you NONE of that is true Many of us are capable but thats not what is necessary to succeed at CAMS and by succeed I mean straight As or practically perfect grades You will have to dedicate if not all most of your time to studying 10x harder than your friends at other public schools and when applying to college will we weighted the same regardless of the harder studies you had Some teachers wont teach at all and you will be left to struggle on your ownnnIf you want to go to the science fields and NOT engineering dont come here for opportunities because there are very few available CAMS is basically opportunity driven for future ENGINEERS so dont be fooled Also if you really dont want the extra stress for nothing I suggest another school because it really isnt worth it You could have far more free time at another school and be able to explore more activities and opportunitiesnnThe 2 stars arent for the terrible staff and the heap of worthless teachers but for the majority of amazing students that are there and the few teachers that actually teach and care more ... hide ...

This school ruined me as a person I came to this school in the eighth grade and almost immediately lost any sort of innocence I had left in me All of the sudden grades became life or death and my creative thinking was pu This school ruined me as a person I came to this school in the eighth grade and almost immediately lost any sort of innocence I had left in me All of the sudden grades became life or death and my creative thinking was put to a halt High school was even worse The amount of hatred and competition amongst students was unbearable It was every man for themself and if you were the slightest bit different you were chastised and isolated from the normal people This school does not support individuality Not only were the students dreadful but so were the faculty They could care less about the well being of their students and were only concerned with how much funding they were going to get for the year This extremely negative atmosphere took a toll on my mental and physical state I did not feel supported by my peers teachers and counselors If I could do it over I would have never attended La Canada High School Please please do not send your children to this hell hole more ... hide ...

I want to give parents of kids enrolling in kindergarten a heads up about the schools split class approach 12 of the kindergarteners the Early Starts ES have class 800 1220 The other half the Late Starts LS from 930 I want to give parents of kids enrolling in kindergarten a heads up about the schools split class approach 12 of the kindergarteners the Early Starts ES have class 800 1220 The other half the Late Starts LS from 930 150 You will be told that there is no difference This is not remotely true Make your decision about Early Start or Late Start fully knowledgeable of the differencesnn LS families have many many schedule changes over 80 for the school year families cannot plan upon a steady daily routine 930 150 whereas ES families have extremely reliable and predictable schedules 800 1220 with only 24 exceptions for the school yearnn Each day Kinder kids get 90 minutes of small class instruction 15 or fewer kids in the room LS students will lose a minimum of 20 minutes per week of this highly desirable focusedsmallclass instruction and more than an hour on some weeks such as during parentteacher conferences when ES students receive nearly 30 more focusedsmallclass instruction for the week Over the course of the school year this will result in LS students losing 3 full days of education time and the equivalent of 8 days of focusedsmallclass instruction vs ES studentsnn Keeping track of the LS schedule can be maddening For example one week in November LS students were in class 900 100 Monday Tuesday and Wednesday 930 130 Thursday and 930 150 on Friday Four of the five days were not the expected time of 930 150 By contrast ES students were in class everyday from 800 1220 exactly as expectednn LS students are not permitted to socialize or utilize the playground at morning drop off They must sit quietly on the sidewalk while they wait to be escorted into the school ES students run play and socialize making full use of the school grounds while parents gather and talknn Virtually all activities PTA Meetings Morning Assemblies Committee Meetings are scheduled for 800AM LS families must adjust schedules by 15 hours to participate in these spiritbuilding activities This will likely require changing family routines the night before and the morning of each activity thereby disrupting rhythms and schedules ES families have no such schedule disruptions more ... hide ...
