I am a recent alum of Santa Clara High School and I can confidently say attending SCHS was a very positive experience I would recommend to oncoming students. Most of the staff are very helpful legitimately care about the success of their students. SCHS offers many clubs, AP courses, extracurriculars, and thriving sports programs to help student develop a sense of hard work and community. While the counselors are swamped with a lot of work and many students to aid they do their best and always try to achieve the best outcome for anyone that walks through their door. Mr. Butler, the college and career resources counselor, is by far one of if not THE most welcoming, hardworking, and caring adult on campus. If there was one thing I had to change about our school/district it would be student involvement in academics. I believe there so many students within the district that have the potential to achieve higher academics goals but are just discouraged.
I believe the Santa Clara Unified School District is the Best School District in our area, as it preps us for the realworld STEM experience needed to survive right in the heart of Silicon Valley!
The area has improved since I was young. Many schools offer a great education with a diverse array of staff, and there are many outreach programs both apart and separate from the district. K-8 Campuses are clean and most of the time welcoming. However, I would pick and choose High school especially if you or your child in high school plans to attend college, for there are not many resources given for 4 years except for Community. Other than that the highschool campuses are welcoming with kind staff.
