Homestead is a phenomenal school! I'm so proud of the fact that I attend this school.

True, it is pretty

There really is a 'club for everyone' and challenging yet interesting classes, particularly APUSH, AP English, AP Calc/Phys, and AP Chem. Some teachers aren't necessarily the best at doing their jobs, but hey, in the end, AP classes depend on how much time the students are willing to put in. This self-discipline obviously works; Homestead sends students to Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, MIT, and other prestigious schools every year - more students than the other schools in the district. I strongly recommend Homestead! :] Read less

Downsides; due to the huge population increase in the school,

The administration seems to avoid addressing student issues. While the teachers may try their hardest, they simply do not have the tools. Schools in Cupertino are overrated.
