Such a balanced school with great classes options to take Rigor, sports and socialization. My kid is well rounded and happy to go to school everyday. Teachers are so kind and supportive and the goal is to learn, they are routing for your kids success. Lots of sharing and kids working together.. BEST high school experience filled with great memories and kids to be grow to be balanced individuals with great life skills too. My kid is so happy and thriving - we love the school spirit too, cant ask for for a better well rounded high school experience.

Me and my friend are currently students in this school (8th grade) something I will personally share is to not trust the teachers or staff member as telling your personal problems or school drama because they call the police or they question you specially staff and sometimes if you have like a translator a staff member might ask you to give it to him to check if its "dangerous" and sometimes take it if they might feel like its way to "distracting or a burden to other students" so I will recommend don't use whistles if you don't wanted to be taken away. If you were not born in this country your automatically put in a ELD class even if you were born here and you "FAILED" a little bit the ELPAC or any English test your automatically put in a ELD class so it can help YOU learn the language. The safety is alright here because teachers don't care if you get bullied or not they will pretend to take care of it but they actually don't and they might tell the office and will call you and ask you like 1000000 questions, they will let the person you report not punished instead sometimes you might get punished instead of them. don't bring any metal "toys" you buy in malls because if you play with it with a friend the teacher will call a staff member to get you and they will call the police and asked if the person who bought the toy harassed you in any way if you say yes then your friend will get Saturday school or get suspended for a toy so you better so you can save your friend from letting that happens to them. if you write smth like wanna yk what in translater you will get called to the office and be asked that if you feel ok or if you need any help so you better say no to that either and if you get in volved in a "vape" problem or stuff like that you better say that you don't know anything about it all you will be suspended and you will get called to the office. also don't write "weird" things in your Google account or anywhere in a school computer because they check every corner of it and you will get in trouble. -anonymous student

We have had an outstanding experience at Hoover. We transferred here from a district in Cupertino that itself had good schools, but Hoover is an entirely new level. The teachers all have masters degrees and really focus on learning methods. The “hawk talk“ speeches have helped my shy kid become great at public speaking. There’s also a great sense of community with cocktail parties and other events to meet parents. We love Hoover!
