College & Career Readiness
El Camino is dedicated to preparing all students to be confident and successful community members. With this in mind, we have committed to helping our students graduate College & Career Ready. One way that students can demonstrate College & Career Readiness is to earn a score of 3 or higher on both the CAASPP ELA and math assessments. CAASPP testing begins on Monday, March 31, and concludes on Wednesday, April 2. All students who achieve College & Career Readiness status will be recognized at graduation with an honor cord and a special seal on their diploma. For more information on College & Career Readiness at El Camino, please read the Principal's Message linked here.
