Junior: I moved to this school at the beginning of my sophomore year. The main reason I transferred was because I had heard very good things from one of my friends about the agriculture program here. The counselor and the admin team were great, setting me up with the classes I needed, transferring credits and helping me register for dual credit The school was virtual for my first year. Once I was able to come in person it was great. The students here are all very nice and very non-judgmental. The ag program was fantastic, and the ag teacher is amazing. They have a really cool program called Edgenuity, which allows students to take other classes not necessarily offered through the teachers at school. For example I took an anatomy class on Edgenuity and loved it. By far my favorite part about this school though is the dial credit opportunities. By the time I graduate high school I will be halfway done with my bachelor's degree and ready to get started in college and move on to medical school!... Read 65 reviews

Senior: I’ve loved my time at SJC! It took a little bit of time to get used to as a freshman because of how technologically dependent the school is. Most, if not all, work is done on the IPad which is great for so many reasons. The student life is amazing and staff want to see you succeed. However, some of the older teachers tend to get stuck in their ways of teaching and need to modernize their methods. Overall, SJC is a great environment for high schoolers, especially those athletically and academically driven.... Read 251 reviews

Parent: I have one alum and two middle schools sons at Lowell. The younger two started in Kindergarten and the oldest in third after attending our local public elementary school. Although my sons are completely different, Lowell has managed to understand and bring out the best in each of them. My oldest, the quiet introvert at public school, was completely brought out of his shell and is now a confident 10th grader. Lowell taught him self advocacy. My younger two have been encouraged to use their over abundance of self-confidence to boost other children up. Thanks to Lowell, they are empathetic leaders. Lowell has helped me parent my boys to be their best selves -- confident yet kind, thoughtful and public-spirited. All of that PLUS a leading edge curriculum that allows them to easily attend the top public and independent high schools in the city!... Read 13 reviews
