Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo High School is a high school in Long Beach, California. The school is a part of the Long Beach Unified School District.

## History

[edit]

In the winter of 1996, the ground was broken for Cabrillo High School on the west side of Long Beach. The school opened in September 1996 with grades nine and ten, and a student body of approximately 975 students. Because Cabrillo High School was still under construction, the original plan for the school was that upon completion of their tenth-grade year, all students would transfer to one of the other five comprehensive high schools to complete their secondary education. Efforts by the students and parents instead led to the Board of Education to add grade eleven and eventually grade twelve. In 1999, Cabrillo High School graduated its first class with approximately 75 students receiving their high school diplomas.

## Academics

[edit]

Throughout the years, Cabrillo has seen tremendous instructional changes through multiple 'house' pathways or (Small Learning Community–SLC):

Cabrillo Academy of Global Logistics (AGL)

Cabrillo Academy of Law and Justice (CAL-J)

Cabrillo Engineering and Design (CED)

Specialized Academy of Compute Media, Arts & Animation (SACMAA)

These SLC's are providing Cabrillo students with more options after high school—ranging from college to military (NJROTC) and career opportunities.

### College admissions

[edit]

The Class of 2021 spans throughout California within the California State University and University of California system, although alumni especially committed to universities in Southern California. The most popular destinations within both systems are Long Beach State (54 alumni), UC Santa Barbara (5 alumni), and Cal State Dominguez Hills (3 alumni).[3][4] Long Beach Cabrillo graduates are granted two years of free tuition at Long Beach City College, which has a dedicated Transfer Admission Guarantee resource center for transferring to the majority of UC and CSU Campuses.[5][6] Admissions at private universities are sparse, but enrollments have occurred at USC and Cal Lutheran.[7] Below are admissions tables derived from the University of California and California State University for the Class of 2021:
