Los Gatos High School offers challenging academics for students so inclined and has also been flexible with my daughter who has a health issue. The athletics program is one of the best for public schools in the south bay. The administration recognizes top performing students with year end awards. The campus is well maintained and they just added a new music building, with the orchestra and choir programs performing at a high level. The engineering and robotics program is highly rated. Parents donate both time by volunteering and money to the foundation that supports numerous programs at the school.
My favorite part about Los Gatos High School is the ability to pursue anything you want. I understand that this can be said about most schools, but at LG, the key difference is you feel like your decisions will be fully accepted and supported. At other say very academically-inclined schools, if you want to be a top athlete, that may be looked down upon, and thus, you do not feel comfortable pursuing this passion as you might be ostracized. Or vice versa. At Los Gatos, I have always felt comfortable doing just what I am passionate about. Jock? Go for it. Calculus-genius? That works too. Origami-ist that can create life-sized dragons. Check. You have the power to what you want and feel good about it.
I enjoyed my time at Los Gatos High School. In general, our school is open to creativity and change. Even though it's been said that Los Gatos is a "bubble," you can always find diversity in ideas and people if you are willing and proactive. The faculty and classes are, for the most part, very interesting, and I like the people that surround me!
