To succeed at ST, the student has to take initiative. ST simply doesn't have the funding to mandate and provide SAT prep classes and intimate one-on-one time with each student. It's much larger than many private schools in the Bay Area and hold students from a multitude of socioeconomic households. Most of my friends' parents hadn't graduate from college themselves. But, faculty and staff at ST are great help WHEN you ask. I graduated in 2007, and the only reason I knew how to apply for college is because I made the effort to go to the counselors and asked how to do it. AP classes: the English and science departments are great. But a high GPA and extracurrs are the most important for getting into college, so take APs in subjects you have an interest in; you'll do the best in those. Take hnrs and reg classes for everything else.

I think that Santa Teresa high school is not a good school for my daughter because the kids are not focused on their work my daughter is always telling me that they don t respect the teachers and their also saying bad words.In my opinion I think that Santa Teresa high school is a bad school for my daughter to be here in this school.

I enjoy ST alot compared to other surrounding high schools. I am currently in 3 AP classes and find the work rather challenging as opposed to the regular courses. Santa Teresa is committed to making high school as easy as possible for students and for the most part ST so far has been just what everyone imagines high school to be. I'm currently a Junior and so far I have loved ST's sports, rally's, and spirit week since freshman year. ST has made high school fun and I wouldn't want to attend any other high school
