I am going to be a sophmore next year and im highly disapointed in this school, i expected it to be better than any other school, i rather go to wilson than here, and all the teachers dont care about their students education except for a few awsome teachers that teach here. All the school cares about it money and getting more students

i'm currently a sophomore there and extremely disappointed in the school. although it was a few amazing teachers that truly stand out most of the teachers are rude, careless, and only seem to care about there API and star test scores. the school has a very bad atmosphere and huge tension between races. the school itself is nothing to boast about. back in the 70s-90s it was a great place to be, but not anymore. the sports are even going down hill. there was at the least 8 fights that broke out in between the middle of the yr! not good.

I've attended 3 different high schools and Los Altos High School is by far the worst one I've gone to. I deeply regret spending any time there. My biggest regret is graduating from this poor excuse of a 'California Distinguished' high school. Teachers are unhelpful, counselors are uncooperative and it seems no one cares about your education; only how you can improve their test scores. Don't send your child here!

My son is a freshman this year and coming from a private school I was concerned. However, his experience has been a great one. He's gotten involved, made great friends. Teachers have always been available for comment and most communicate regularly via email and are very responsive. This whole budget situation I'm sure is causing a strain, but thus far experience is very good.
