The special education department this year is doing a tremendous job and the kids feel very welcomed and happy to learn. The ELOP and other supporting programs from the district also help these in many ways. Happy to be here.

Great high school right next to Stanford University. Wonder and balanced academic environment

I can't say enough how embarrassed PAUSD should be to have a school like this in their district. There is just no reason for the high level of incompetence in the administration, and apathy in the teaching staff.I recently sent an email to a group of Admin staff and heard nothing for a week, so I went in person to remind them to answer my email (because I have learned from experience that reminders by email go unanswered)...it took them a week to answer my email AFTER I talked to them IN PERSON asking them to respond to the email.The email BTW was asking them why they haven't started a system for my child that was supposed to start a month prior.I think my child would've been better off if I just dropped her off at the library every morning and let her read whatever she wants.and let me remind you that no one at all in this scenario is lacking in any resources to help. I have offered the school to send tutors, to pay for things, to apply for grants. I came to Palo Alto because I wanted my children to get a valuable public school education, but from my experience at JLS I'm now putting my other children in private school and planning to sue the district to have this covered (which is something many people do, and is probably your best option if you're reading this and thinking of how to best help your children succeed.)
