None Counselor or teacher support students This high school has substitute teacher all the time. Subs don’t teach they go in for two days .they don’t care about our students.

Cajon is a great school with excellent academic and sports programs.

Only went for 9th grade in 2014 and overall teachers and classes were good, especially IB/ MYP. School definitely wasn't a stranger to vandalism and kids on average were only slightly above average in terms of being friendly. It's the best public high school in a really bad school district, make of it what you will.

Exceptional. I love the staff and students at this school. Every year I have a number of employment options made available to me but don't want to leave my school family.

Avoid sending your kids to this school if possible.

This school is great, I have a Junior and freshmen student attending this year. My Freshmen has had great help from his counselor transitioning from middle school. They really care about his success and have gone far and beyond to help him and have provided me with a peace of mind knowing that he has the teachers and counselors support. My older son is active in the CA Cadet Corps programs and has developed great leadership skills. I have no complaints.

This school is very well rounded. Large sized campus including a wealth of athletic facilities, well kept, outstanding teachers, especially in language and arts and math. They're really all there for the students, my neighbors across the street all had their kids go there. The principal really cares, I can hear her talking on the intercom giving little motivational speeches to the students during the day. I've never seen any of the kids from the school do anything bad in my neighborhood. Diverse mix of about 1/3 each of white, black, and hispanic. The surrounding neighborhood is upscale, Shandin Hills and CSUSB area is home to houses in the 200-500 range, with a lot of newer and well kept middle and upper class apartment homes.

I note that there is no place to agree or disagree with the post (stars, thumbs up/down, comments, etc.). Cajon's profile is lacking: -more sports than listed (last year they were bumped up a league because they were winning almost all of the sports championships) -choirs, guitar classes, strings, band, drum-line and IB Music -MYP/IB program to advanced students -AVID -CAHSEE support classes -Special Ed/SDC/RSP support and classes -language support to students and parents who are just learning English -a massive amount of extra-curricular classes: auto shop, wood shop/cabinetry, a restaurant program, music/theatre/film classes, special classes with science labs held at CSU San Bernardino, Academic Decathlon, Mock Trial, Speech and Debate, French/German/Spanish classes, computing classes, and more. This is a great school in a very economically depressed and culturally/racially diverse neighborhood. Every year Cajon High School sends kids to Ivy League schools AND local colleges. I am proud that my kids had the privilege to attend Cajon.

I am a student there now and I believe that the programs, sports and academic wise, are the best in the district. But kids just have to stay focused;it's not the admin's or teacher's responsibility to keep them in line. Otherwise, you can pretty much do whatever you want. There are RARELY any fights or anything like that, and it's a really friendly, smart, school.

Im a freshman at Cajon High School and this is the best high school in the district! The staff is awesome! Your kid needs to attend here!

cajon is definitely not the best school in the nation, not even in california; but it is doing better than the other schools in our district at the moment. the teachers actually care about the students-something i have found hard to find at the other schools in the county- and i personally know all the counselors and what they are best-known for because they are just that involved. it is not up to the faculty if a student requests help or receives the wrong attention; they can offer to intercede and comfort, but, seriously, some people just need to grow up. i commend my school for its efforts and, in the most annoying cheerleading voice ever, i scream 'go cowboys!'
