From 1997 to 2004, the school opened a secondary campus in downtown Vista called the Vista Village Learning Plaza, which at various times has housed the high school program and an alternative education program called the Expeditionary Learning Center (ELC).

Although Guajome has never been a private school, in its early years prospective students and their parents were required to interview with the dean.

especially following administrative changes in 2003, there has been increasing controversy[citation needed] surrounding what some critics say is a break from the school's original vision of small classroom sizes and a project-based, integrated curriculum.

In 2005, a former teacher created the message board Guajome Underground to criticize the administration and discuss educational changes at the school[3].

The current campus is located in northern Vista, at the intersection of North Santa Fe Avenue and Museum Way.

Guajome's athletic teams include soccer, cross country, track, softball, baseball, basketball, volleyball, tennis and wrestling.

The Guajome Park Academy Yearbook has won 1st (2008), 2nd (2006, 2010, 2011) and 3rd (2007) place ribbons at the San Diego County Fair.

[citation needed] In the fall of 2014, Guajome added string orchestra and choral programs during the school day.
