i really love my history Mr.wells, while other teachers follow what the book says, he creates his own slides, and tells the history in a story way to make it more intresting than boring letters on book. i would recommand nonaccelarated math, cause the teachers are way nicer, like Mrs.Mohla, and MrsTan.

My experience at Mission San Jose Elementary (MSJE) was amazing! I had a great overall learning experience and ultimately, had a really fun time there. Most of the teachers are really nice and kind, and they help you whenever you need it. The school counselor also hosts regular activities where students can meet each other and participate in fun and engaging events. In the five years that i've been a student here, I've never had a problem with any person /teacher and everything here is so nice. There are also lots of school activities, such as a Halloween Parade, Science Camp, going to Ohlone College to see a play, and Movie Nights. The field trips are also really fun and exciting, and we always learn a lot from these experiences.

Mission San Jose High School is an intellectually demanding environment where the classes, specifically AP classes based off my experiences, seem to value more intellect and wit, but are really an excuse to cram in information in what has been a parody of true, inquisitive learning. Although there are some great teachers (shout out to Mr. Leu for providing a safe space to learn accelerated precalculus and encourage the basketball team on a winning streak), most of the teachers are mediocre to bad. I had this AP Chem teacher (I won't mention her name for privacy reasons), who taught in the most un-intuitive way, based off my opinion, and instead of researching how the legendary teacher Feynman taught kids physics, she resorted to going on tangents about how we were all slackers who won't do the work and panic about us not getting full scores on the tests. But there's a reason why I have to resort to tutoring to even comprehend the subject matter of chemistry.But even if the teachers are mediocre for the most part, a critic could argue that the intellect and acumen of the student populace (for example, their exemplary executions of homecoming festivals or club logistics), would provide a vibrant Bell Labs of discovery and start-up opportunities for professional advancement, as if bright peers can congregate in such a way that they could create something meaningful and useful to improve our day-to-day lives. And yet even if I believed in this Platonic utopia, I would argue that this is a rare exception to the trends I've seen amongst students in MSJ. Most students are more concerned with acing the next test, disregarding anything intellectual or treating it with forced cheer or even blatant mockery, based off my biased experiences. And I see so many diverse people, homogenized into the same panicking and "locked-in" archetype that doesn't even bother to read a book called "Deep Work" on actual productivity.So to conclude my thoughts, parents should seriously consider their children enrolling in this school because this school will erode your child's sense of creativity or intuition, stunt their potential, and if they don't have a good teacher, they'll be lucky if they get tutoring. It's a shame that Mission San Jose High School is a place of so much potential and intellect that is unfortunately squashed in the pursuit of going to a good college.
