School Overview

Tucked into South San Francisco — the self-proclaimed "Industrial City" that sits just south of SF proper — El Camino High punches well above its weight with strong English and science scores that put it comfortably in the top fifth of California high schools. Families who want a rigorous public school experience without the intense pressure-cooker atmosphere of some nearby Peninsula schools tend to find a good fit here. South San Francisco itself has a tight-knit, working-class character that's held onto its identity even as the Bay Area has changed around it, and the school reflects that community pride.
