I have been attending California Connections Academy for 5 years now. As you read most of these comments, you can obviously see that there are a lot of bad ones, but that's because only the really pissed off people feel the need to come on here and trash the school, so take those with a grain of salt. When it comes to communicating with teachers, all my teachers over the years have been great at getting back to me very quickly. You got to remember that the teachers are not the ones creating our academic content, so no need to blame them for the amount of lessons. There are higher up people that do the software and create the material, our teachers are really just there to grade and answer questionsnothing bad about that at all, that's just their job. My counselors over the years have been fantastic and I cannot thank them enough. I also have an IEP and most of my teachers have been very accommodating. The only teacher that I had a problem was the AP US History teacher, who couldn't understand why I had an IEP and asked me if I was faking it. That has been my only bad situation with any teachers at this school. Ms. Finkelstein, who I had for Algebra 2, was a great teacher and probably one of my most favorite teachers out of the 5 years that I have attended this school. My 11th grade counselor, Yvonne Hernandez, was such a great counselor and so helpful! The receptionist that works at the front desk in the Capistrano Office was so nice and great to talk too! I forget her name, but she is blonde and the main one you talk if you ever go into the Capistrano office. The in-person biology lab teacher, Ms. Solomon was such a great teacher and the one that did my letters of recommendations for college. I just got accepted into UCLA and USC. I only have about 2 more months until I graduate and I am really going to miss this school!
