James Logan High School Is like no other high school. The diversity is great, the people are great, everything is fantastic! I love the environment and it feels calming and relaxing. The overall community of James Logan is one of the best and welcoming ones ever! I have never felt safer yet am having the best time of my life! James Logan is a treat and I believe it's a lovely one at that!
What I liked about this school was it's diversity. Not only diverse racially, but also diverse in talent, financial background, and personality. I heard stories online all over the US about people feeling like they did not belong in their school, but here this was not the case. Everyone found someone they could talk to.
However, with academics, there are some amazing teachers, but as always, there are also some, not so amazing teachers that could ruin your high school experience and GPA. I had 2 of them. My grades, as well as others significantly dropped and many dropped their classes but I was not able to.
But overall, my experiences here will forever be held in my heart even though it ended so suddenly.

Large and diverse student body but funding is limited. Teachers went on strike for the last month of my senior year, most of them care a lot about the students.
Has good extracurriculars and academics are alright as well. There were some safety incidents but they are handled.
James Logan High School was very unique. The teachers there are all very kind and welcoming. I am proud to be a colt, my school is one of the most diverse schools in the Bay Area. The cons of being at the school is the learning opportunities because we had a teacher strike which cut learning time for students.
Good school. Counselors are really hard to work with at times. School tries really hard to help students find volunteer opportunities. Lots of diversity.
James Logan is a school full of many opportunities. Whether you want to make new friends or try new classes to help figure out ur dream job, this is your one-way ticket to achieving all those goals. This school has opened my eyes to the real world and has helped me meet many new people who have the same interests as me. With 4,000 kids on campus, you would have to try your hardest to avoid making new friends. The educational opportunities that this school provides is astounding. I personally am interested in Engineering, and there are multiple classes regarding my major of interest. I have a few friends who are interested in becoming doctors and they tell me how many opportunities there are to learn and get experience. Attending this school is a blessing, with its diversity, friendly and caring atmosphere, and many educational opportunities.
I enjoyed my time at this school but the counselors are very disconnected from the students and they get very little help with applying to colleges.
We have around 4,000 students at James Logan HS so they provide lots of resources and many types of classes that students can take that aren't found at other high schools. There are many opportunities to take AP or honor classes with most teachers being really mellow and supportive. I would say that the biggest problem with this school is that there aren't enough counselors to deal with all the students. All three years that I've been here so far, my schedule has been messed up and would take around a week to fix. Other than that this is a great school with many clubs that you can join or create.
I love the opportunities we’re given here through academics, athletics, and so much more. However, the school isn’t known for having the safest environment. That’s the number one thing I’d change, so that students can feel safe at the place where they spend at least 8 hours a day. And by safe, I mean physically and mentally/emotionally.
My experience at James Logan was good, it wasńt the worst. The teachers are for the most part very encouraging and helpful and many of them have after-school opportunities available. Despite only being in school for 2 1/2 years due to my schoolś strike and covid, I feel like James Logan High had the best diversity in the area which I liked a lot. Although this school had many flaws and could work on making the environment safer and more and comfortable for students, it was an overall good school with a large campus.
My experience at James Logan High School was a great one. With spirit weeks and sports and education, I had fun. James Logan is the only school in my city and is home to 4,000 students. That being said it is one of the more diverse schools in the area. This helped me get used to different cultures at Logan. Sports wise, I wrestled and the team was really good taking 3rd at our section. Our sport teams are really good. The teachers I had also was great, they helped me along the way though some really were on my ass about assignments. Overall Logan was a good experience I won't forget.
Administrators and counselors need to be replaced- don't send your child here. Other than the fire alarms going off every other day, the administrators are more concerned with their paychecks rather than the safety of students.
After graduating from Logan in 2018, I would say James Logan High School is a good school. I felt like we offered lots of extra curricular activities compared to other schools, and also what I enjoyed was how diverse the school was, and I felt as if you had many opportunities to meet someone and connect and create great relationship with them. As for the education provided, in my opinion it was either a hit or miss with certain teachers. Everyone has different learning styles so from my experience some classes were more difficult to take then others. There were some teachers that I really enjoyed taking and you could tell they really helped teaching students new knowledge everyday. The safety of the school when I went was pretty average, there were times where students would mess around and pull the fire alarm and all that, but when those situations did arise the school did take it seriously and took immediate action by contacting the police.
At my school I pretty much really enjoyed the high levels of diversity because it's such a huge school with a large variety of students. I also really liked how there's a lot of teachers there that actually want to see you succeed and give you different opportunities to excel in the subjects you're learning.
James Logan High School is very diverse and they have excellent athletic programs, as well as clubs and activities.
The workload is average and offer vast amounts of classes to the students. Helping bypass student confusion on which class to take next. I say this because in the student course catalogue they give us a flow chart in every department. Even more helpful they give us a requirement chart in the very first pages. As well as a guideline schedule for all four years, in case some students don't have a particular class they want to take but still need to earn enough credit to graduate. Lastly the teachers are very friendly, and even offer after class/lunchtime tutoring even though it is not required for them to do so. I especially like most of their free teaching style. Sticking to coursework but very vastly different methods per class.
Somethings I don't like are the clubs, while there are a vast amount and we can check them out by the quarterly club fair they are underfunded. I say this because I am part of the gardening club and the tools we use are very worn down.
