[2] It is a member of the San Juan Unified School District and serves western Fair Oaks and eastern Carmichael.

In 1995, Del Campo adopted the 4X4 Block Schedule which enables students to focus on four ninety-two-minute classes each term.

This allows students to complete eight more classes than others would on a traditional schedule to prepare for the academic demands of university.

College prep classes may include honors classes in English, Science, and Social Studies, as well as Advanced Placement classes in Biology, Calculus AB & BC, Chemistry, Microeconomics, English Language, English Literature, French, Spanish, Statistics, U.S. Government, and U.S. History.

Del Campo also has an Academic Decathlon program; the school has performed well in the Sacramento County competition since the 1980s.
