Clairemont High School

"My son has done very well in the Four-by-Four system. For the past two years, he has been able to take Mesa College English and Mathematics classes for free. The academy system has provided positive mentors and real-life experiences in the field of engineering and business. Kudos to Mr. Colombo for his support and encourage of my son's academic and personal success."

"This school has been my home for the last 3 years and well not all my experiences have been good. In some cases I love my teachers like Mrs, Moore, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Riley and Mr. Ko. However I've had my fair share of teachers who 'bully' and disrespect their students. Two of my teachers have called our class stupid and our generation brain dead. One of my teachers also constantly yells at our class, saying how we want him fired and that we hate him and personally attack him. There are many good things about this school but also bad things. Also for example our school spends a huge amount of money on our football team but yet, we have NO pool and considering that water polo (CIF winners) and swim are 2/4 of the most successful sports at this school is really disappointing. As for the academies I don't hate them but they aren't fantastic I feel like if the teachers tried and actually listened to the students, the academies could improve. On the other hand I love how close I've gotten to the people in my academy and I actually really enjoy the 4-4 schedule, it lets me take a lot more classes. :)"

"I 100% hate the academies but overall a good school, they're just not working. Might as well stop them now before you lose more students and incoming students. OH AND STOP CUTTING CLASSES WE ACTUALLY LIKE, Thank you. :) Oh and Mark Colombo is an amazing teacher, give him a raise. #stoptheacademies"

"The academies has ruined the school. Jennifer Roberson has said "....our academies provide a richer, more personalized learning environment where students will be motivated to graduate with the skills and confidence to succeed in college, career, and life." I haven't seen any of this. The academies are overrated and a waste of money. The school would be a little better if the academies were gone. #stoptheacademies"

"I have been going to this school for two years.They need to improve there staff.The attendance staff is NOT helpful. You walk in there is no greeting or asking if you need help with something. Also when there are things like spirit week they need to put it on the online calendar. Other than that the school is very good. Classes are Really good ,Electives are even better . Its a very good school."
