Classical Academy has far surpassed any expectations I had for a school for my son. My only regret…read moreis that I did not find the Classical Academy schools earlier. The teachers and staff are incredibly dedicated to teaching, the students, and exude an enthusiasm and confidence that is magnetic. Truly, everyone is so invested in the success of every student. I have observed on numerous occasions, staff and teachers encourage, embrace, applaud, support the diverse student base. The athletes, academic team, musicians, introverts, extroverts, are lauded in the same way. Everyone is valued. Every teacher is unique- in personality, skill set, mannerisms which helps to serve the diverse student body. It is a comfortable space for anyone to fit in or create their own space. Innovation, ideas, perspectives are encouraged. There is no right approach to learning. There is no wrong approach. It is truly a learning environment. Students are accountable with clear direction and expectations, tutors and counselors are always available, and goals, hurdles, requirements are defined well ahead. As students work to achieve those goals, materials is presented in many ways, with many formats, to allow for students with different learning styles and capabilities to succeed. Most importantly, the school is very invested in academic and personal success well beyond high school, in the community, in the workplace, in college, working toward creating independent, conscientious, resourceful graduates who will achieve well after graduation.

2 campuses, 1 school. For 1 campus, they lost instructional time last year to accommodate the other…read morecampus, and this year they lost even more time, (this year it ends at 1:30 for some reason), and students have to navigate a different schedule every day they are on campus. And this is the high school campus with the most kids with disabilities. It seems like the school board just doesn't care about this campus. The low stars are because of the management of the schools, but there are at least some really amazing teachers there, and there is a better student to teacher ratio than the Escondido union school district

I emailed his 4 teachers at 8pm tuesday night and heard back from 3 out of 4 before the evening was over. I was hoping to hear back within 24 - 48 hours as I know they have a lot on their plate but the rapid response was very incredible. Not only were they so prompt they each wrote quite a bit explaining the grade status, what can be done to bring them up this week and expressed very positive feedback. I know all schools have positive and negative reviews but I am very impressed with how well their teacher's respond to parent concerns.

Snitches get stitches and other fine things your kids will learn at Rincon…read more Unlike North Broadway elementary school ( a mile down the road), this is not one of the better schools in Escondido. Expect bullying and intimadation from day one. While there's a bullying hotline (the problem is so rampant they had to create a hotline), you'll soon find that for every bully you call about, there will be 2 more to replace them. Teachers are fine, basically earning a paycheck to whatever minimum level the state requires. This is California, which academically isn't saying much. Principals were fine and did seem to care, especially with all of the "noise" that goes on here. Ultimately, I had to pull one of my kids out of Rincon and put them in a charter school. I highly recommend to all parents that if they have kids going into middle school in upper Escondido, they should get on a charter school waiting list as soon as possible. - Interesting to note that million dollar homes surround this school. However, through district incompetence, far away elementary schools are fed into Rincon. This impacts traffic, and those kids who have to walk to/from school have to go extra far, we're talking several mile long walks. - Look up Rincon Middle School bullying / drugs / fights on google.. this is NOT a safe school. - RIncon is a bad middle school sandwiched between several good schools (both elementary schools, Escondido High School, and Calvin Christian private school).

I went here for my junior and senior year. I transferred from a private school - Calvin Christian -…read moreand I was very glad I did! CAHS-PL is the type of school where if you do your work, you WILL pass with AT LEAST a B. That is from a combination of excellent teaching, engaging work, and non-excessive knowledge. All the people I knew that got anything lower than a B were people who didn't really do their homework. I learned a decent amount of things - not enough to overwhelm me, but not enough to forget too many important details. Everything here was super easy compared to private school, as a junior and senior it was nice to still earn good grades but not have extreme amounts of work to do. When I was in the middle of college application season, I had a college counselor there tell me that CSUSM was impacted and it might be hard to get in. My weighted GPA was a 4.11, so I'm not sure where that came from, but it did stress me out. I was accepted in less than a day. My schedule was great. I didn't need too many credits so senior year I was at school 10.40am-2pm and it was amazing. If you're looking to make friends and have a social life, don't go here. A lot of kids just want to come to school, get their work done, and then go home. Most of my friends left before lunch, so I just used that time to do my work. If your kid works well on their own, this is the place for them. I highly recommend. It is 3 days a week, which is cool. I would get all my Monday and Friday work done on Friday, and then have Monday off! Or vice versa. It can be done, but I'd say around 3 or 4 hours of work will need to be done over those at-home days, but that's barely anything. I loved here, if this seems like a good fit for your kid, please send them here!

I remember going to this school a long time ago. I remember how the teachers, faculty, and…read moreprinciple made me feel. They made me feel unwanted, and like an outcast. The teachers and faculty accused me of doing things I never did - such as masturbating in the classroom. They accused me of cheating, when I never did. The faculty at OGHS accused me of being high on drugs - when I was never once high on drugs. Eventually I was expelled for something I didn't do, and I had no way of proving that I didn't do it. I was so young - I was only 12. I felt bullied by the students - sure... That's normal. But I felt more bullied by the faculty at this school than I ever did by the students. That's what really hurt. Orange Glen High School made me hate school. OGHS made me hate learning. OGHS made me hate teachers. It wasn't until after I was expelled from this school that I started to love learning. I studied on my own, with no one to accuse me of cheating, or of masturbating in front of other students. I studied on my own, and worked hard... And today, I'm successful, have a degree, am becoming an astrophysicist, and make more money than most of the faculty there. Thanks for the memories, OGHS. Thanks for nothing.

My only concern is that I wish the school had more AP courses and more clubs on campus that focused more on professional development on different career paths, rather than just the general classes or academic achievement clubs. One of the best things at Esco was spots, and especially football. The stadium is absolutely beautiful. It makes football being such a pleasure to watch! Not only did we as students were able to watch home games there, but the stadium was great enough to host CIF football playoffs. On top of that, graduation didn't need to be held off campus, and was able to be right on the field. Very proud to be a cougar.
