San Clemente High School

Southern Orange County Coastal Feel. You'll survive if you are very careful about what your appearance is, your friends, etc.

Overall my experience with office staff and administration has been very Negative. Teachers are great, but I read another review about the girls soccer coaching staff which I strongly agree with. I brought my concern to the Athletic Director and he deferred to the coaching staff. The coaching leadership is comprised of evaluators, not coaches. I don't see true investment in the development of the character these young ladies. Girls were getting seriously injured in practice scrimmages, and coaches did nothing to discourage the behavior. There are 'favorites' and girls with potential, yearning for a coach, get stepped on, made to feel less than, and pushed out. These are girls that made the team. The amount of great girls that leave the program year of year is alarming but the Athletic director and administration does nothing. San Clemente used to have a nationally ranked, amazing team. It continues to deteriorate year over year, and concerned parents are discouraged from speaking out. In fact they generally feel that if they advocate for the daughter, their daughter will be punished. It's a very discouraging situation.

I love my school. I always feel like I have someone to talk to if I need help. Definitely 10/10

I had one daughter graduate last year, with a terrible experience and hating going to school everyday. Teachers are mean she said, and kids are very egotistical, and drugs are definetely a big problem. Now, I have a freshman there, who said she will not go back to the school next year, for the same reasons. I Also, would not recommend any girl to play for the girls soccer program. The coaches are not leaders, they act like the high school students with there favorites getting play time and encourage varsity players to haze the freshman and play rough with them.
