For the record, it should be West Campus High School, not Hiram Johnson West Campus High School. We…read moreseparated ourselves from Hiram Johnson Main years ago, but for some reason, we're still associated with it. West Campus is its own school with its own independent scholastic program and achievements. This review is based on my experience at the school from 2003 to 2007, when John Becker was still the cool principal and vice principal Howard Mahoney struck fear into the hearts of students as he roamed the hallway with tedious dress-code checks, implemented during fall 2006. The school itself used to be a middle school campus, so it's smaller than your average high school. There's a few hallways and a portable classroom by the field on the edge of campus. Lockers were replaced sometime during 2005. Each class has about 200 students, all of whom must apply to the school. The selection process (which may have changed?) requires recommendations from middle school teachers, an evaluation of the student's standardized test scores, and copies of the standard forms and school transcripts. If you have a sibling already at the school, you have a higher chance of being admitted. The school lacked a football field. Instead, we had a huge baseball field towards the back of the school. Tennis courts were later built. The marching band pwned all :] I loved the music program at the school and it's all thanks to Mr. Ousley and Mr. Hernandez :] thank youu! There are bunches of clubs and sports for extracurricular activities. (I LOVE BAND!! WCMB!!) I adore most of the staff at the school. However, as with most administrations, there are a few disagreeable members :X Like what Kirsten said with her review, look at the college admittance rate for students from West Campus. They're all prepared for success in higher learning institutions.

Am i seriously the first to review here???…read more Take a look at all of the scores and rates about the students who go here who get admitted to college.... This school rocks. Each graduating class is about 200 people so it's definitely an intimate high school experience. The teachers really care about the students and are involved in their lives. If I ever (probably more likely that pigs would fly) have children and I'd want them to go to as fantastic of a school as this!

This school, absolutely HORRIBLE! I wish I could give it 0 stars. I don't usually complain but this…read moreschool is unacceptable. The bathrooms are always locked and dirty, teachers are rude and don't care, once a student peed on his chair because the teacher didn't let him use the bathroom and the bathrooms were also all locked. Don't trust ur kids with the men there as well, I was touched inappropriately and nobody would believe me or listen. I was touched by not one but multiple. Ever since then I always wear baggy clothes that cover my body even though I already wore baggy clothes back then so nobody could blame it on what I was wearing. I'm telling you this school ruined my mental health badly and I never want to go back there ever again. And the social worker/social counselor doesn't care at all and she also twists my words and forces me to talk when I don't feel comfortable talking about something she wants to know, and she also promised not to tell anybody but then the whole office knew and both my parents, of course I didn't tell her remotely close to everything but some stuff were rlly private and it hurt when I found out practically everyone knew, I also told her about me being touched and she didn't really believe me and didn't do anything about it. I was also bullied and there was nothing done about it. I don't recommend this school at all please don't go here I'm begging you. PARENTS BE AWARE!!!

They wanna involve themselves in…read moreyour business as a means to "help" but then when things get out of hand they go "oh we felt we were crossing the line a bit by getting involved." No! Be all in because now we're in a situation where we're being harassed by another student's parents. I come to them with my concern about safety and instead of addressing that concern they are sympathetic towards the aggressors. Certain staff like to pretend to mentor the kids (when they're not even qualified to do so) just for whatever concerning discovery made not to be shared with the parent. They gossip about rumors instead of putting an end to em. I'm so sick of this place. The brunt of my negative experience is because of their doing. They put it all in motion for it to happen. My child witnessed something really traumatizing there and the aftercare was non existent. No offers for counseling. No calls to me when the police spoke to my child. Like aren't they supposed to get my permission? I have a daughter at kjms who will be a freshman next year. I signed her up for El Camino so quickly. There is NO WAY I'd let her attend Encina. I want her around competent school staff. If this is your neighborhood school let them only attend for a year and get them out of their once lottery comes around. Never willingly send your child here. EVER!

When I went to the office about what they did to me, all the school did was put me in a free period so I wasn't in their class anymore. These retired AF men should NOT have been teaching children and they owe so many kids an apology. We were teenagers, not real recruits. The school was not supportive of their LGBTQ students at the time. Like not at all. The one obviously gay teacher was treated terribly by both students and some teachers. I felt bad for him every single day. I respected him. He taught me how to make a resume. There was a kid who so obviously needed help. He was bullied and it broke him down. The school didn't do enough to help him. He got so depressed and so bullied by others, that he eventually made a comment that insinuated violence towards those bullies. The school just expelled him. That's all they did. Has the school changed? Are the students getting the support they need now? Do the students have a safe and effective way to report bullying? I hope so.
