This school goes the extra mile! They believe in the whole child. The community is exceptional from the parents to the teachers and administration. Both of my children attended this excellent and exceptional school. Highly recommend this school!

Some teachers seem unmotivated and waiting to retire. Some teachers rely on group work due to large class sizes, which means the smart kids get bullied to provide answers while the other kids goof off. No accountability. Social dynamics foster exclusivity, racism, and bullying with no oversight or consequences from admin.

My son has thrived at SCHS. He is a high achieving kid and loves Math Academy and advanced science classes. The teachers have been really engaged and communicated their passion for their subject matter effectively as well as offering terrific instruction. He also likes the relative diversity of the school and how it's a community with all different kinds of people. The more vocational classes (auto, bike, ceramics, etc...) also seem excellent. Lots of different sports, theater and band, something for everyone. The principal is also amazing. I think that she goes above and beyond as a leader to foster an environment where everyone feels like they have a place and are welcomed. No school is going to be perfect for everyone all of the time, but I feel like SCHS is a great model of what a thriving public high school can be. I also really like that while my son has enough work to learn and stay engaged, he isn't drowning in homework and doesn't seem stressed the way that I know some kids are in other parts of Silicon Valley. Couldn't be happier.
