Senior: My experience with this school has been amazing. I've been attending for 6 years now and I feel they offer such a unique experience compared to other schools in the area. It is a college prep school and I feel very ready for college. I feel that if I had gone to my local public school it wouldn't have been the same experience. I've also made many great friends and had many great experiences at my school. I have been working with our arts department ever since I joined the school and it has been so influential to me as a person. I discovered my passions and friends through the arts and I hope to continue that after graduating. This school has greatly shaped me as a person and I am unbelievably greatful for that....

Senior: My experience in Mission College High was unlike any other. For starters, we are allowed to do college classes on a real college campus. With this opportunity, I was able to be on track to completing a college degree, a AST, in Business. This college experience has taught me to be prepared to go to different types of universities all around the country. There are very little things I could complain about the school since the overall curriculum, life, and education was enjoyable. There was a time when a substitute teacher told us how impressed he was with Missions campus, and that it could potentially become into an actual university, instead of a community college. Something I would change then, would be transforming the campus into a full university because I totally agree.... Read 15 reviews

Alum: I had a wonderfully diverse and enriching experience through my involvement in track and field, cheerleading, and student council. Being a part of these activities allowed me to explore a range of interests and engage with various aspects of school life. I would like to see better food there for the students as many could not afford to being their own lunches and they need food to fuel them in the school day.... Read 579 reviews

Senior: I have been going to this school since my Freshman year and it has been pretty good being here. I started school virtually due to the pandemic and I did have some trouble with my grades, but I did have the opportunity to do summer school which was on campus. Being on campus and having summer school helped me a lot as I was able to actually meet and talk to the teachers. Overall throughout my years here at this school, I would say it is great since it has helped me become more comfortable with myself and also prepare myself for college classes as it does give us AP classes to take. The teachers and staff are great people to talk to as well.... Read 72 reviews

Alum: It’s an academically STEM focused school, but that doesn’t mean any other subjects lacks in terms of quality just that there’s a greater emphasis on academics rather than sports though they have an incredible marching band that regularly competes and wins at competitions. Clubs and activities are varied and there are numerous uplifting and honor society clubs. In terms of college prep, most college classes will seem normal as classes are the difficulty of college classes.... Read 507 reviews

Senior: One of the standout features of Fremont is its commitment to technology in education. The school has state-of-the-art classrooms equipped with interactive smart boards, and students have access to a virtual learning platform that enhances our understanding of various subjects. The emphasis on STEM education is particularly impressive, with engaging robotics competitions and science fairs that encourage innovation. Fremont High also boasts a rich cultural exchange program, allowing students to connect with peers from around the world. This global perspective enhances our understanding of different cultures and fosters a sense of openness and inclusivity within the student body. However, if there's one area where Fremont could improve, it would be the need for more extracurricular facilities. The demand for clubs and activities has grown, and additional spaces for meetings and practices would greatly enhance the overall student experience.... Read 394 reviews

Alum: One of my best experiences at Santa Clara High School was the community. The students were nice and helpful I was able to know of community service opportunities thanks to them. The worst experience I had was during COVID-19, switching to online learning made classes difficult since there was a lack of participation and cameras on. I would like to see more preparation and help for college or recourses to programs and other things. I know not everyone knows what they want to do so having resources can be helpful and reassuring.... Read 586 reviews

Sophomore: The best parts about Homestead is the absolute diversity of the whole school population. I also love our school spirit as anytime we have a game or an event we all come out with our Homestead merch. I also love the staff as we have so many good teachers that have been really helpful to me. However, the one thing I hate about Homestead is the competitiveness which is insane. Everywhere you see there are so many overachieving to the point where they are unhealthy!... Read 491 reviews

Senior: First and foremost, Monta Vista is a massive pressure cooker. It is one of the few places that can make you feel like every single person around you is smarter than you are. While there are definitely positives to this, like pushing students to maximize their potential, there are also a lot of issues with self esteem. Without a question the motivation that you gain from being surrounded by so many high achieving students is invaluable, but as a consequence there is no place like it that will make you feel self conscious about a 95% on a test, or a 1580 on the SAT. Not even that there is judgement from other students or teachers, but the environment is just one that breeds perfection. Besides that I do truly believe that Monta Vista gave me one of the best experiences I could've had. I had the chance to be involved in varsity sports for all four years, as well as studying and finding a way to have some resemblance of a social life. And I truly believe that it is a great school...

Junior: I've been at KIPP since KIPP Heritage, so I always felt connected with KIPP Navigate. The campus is very neat compared to other KIPP high schools. I really love our mascot, Tony the Tiger. The teachers consistently check up on me, ensuring I am safe and comfortable. I enjoy our pep rallies and school events. KIPP Navigate really focuses on making our school better and pulling our community together. We do advisory circles every week and get to know new things about each other all the time. I will really miss being here after I graduate. Since this is a small school, I won't forget a single person. Hopefully, more people will come to this school and enjoy this amazing school spirit. Live, laugh, love KIPP Navigate.... Read 17 reviews

Junior: You get what you put into the school. It's really easy to get involved in clubs and student leadership. Even though we don't have our own sports team, there a MA Sports Agreement, were students from TIDE can go play for Menlo Atherton High School. So whatever sports MA offer, that's what TIDE offers. The way this works is students ask the PE teacher when tryouts are, show up, and if they make it onto the team and play for a season, they can get PE credits.... Read 9 reviews
