Los Gatos High School's biggest downfall is its lack of diversity and overwhelming sense of privilege by the majority of the students. This can be very isolating for those that do not fit into this extremely out of touch reality, but parents send their children here because this school prepares their students extremely well for college. The teachers are highly qualified, for the most part, and encourage learning through experience and the outside world. In addition to academics, LGHS has many diverse clubs and activities for many different interests and a highly intense focus on athletics. This is overall a good thing but can be overwhelming for some students.
I loved attending Los Gatos High School for many reasons, but one that strikes out to me the most is the sheer amount of school spirit that is shared between the students of the community that this high school built. For students from a small town like Los Gatos, there was a disproportional amount of passion that was shared between us. I loved every spirit rally and any celebration that brought out small but big-hearted community together. This bond only allowed us to perform better academically. I enjoyed being part of the research class that allowed me to pursue my passion in the STEM field. Overall, I can only describe my experience at the school as nothing by wholesome and filled with the utmost positive energy.
The students at los gatos are some of the worst people I’ve ever met. They are racist, homophobic, misogynistic, white privileged kids. If you’d like to spend your days avoiding lines of coke and smoking sessions in the bathroom then the school is for you. I have had amazing teachers but also a significant handful of teachers who dont care and will happily fail you no matter how much you ask for help. The only good thing to come out of this school is the resources (computers, textbooks, etc) we are provided with and the name the school holds to colleges.
