Escondido Charter High School
This is one of the best places to be. As a student, I have been able to connect with faculty on a deeper level the typical teacher-student relationships, and have branched out in many areas. Charter encourages the uniqueness and intelligent discussions, etc. that make each person themselves. No where else can such a positive influence be found. I highly recommend ECHS to anyone willing to step out of the box a little and accept the weirdness inside themselves that we all know everyone has.
