De Anza Senior High School

Posted November 11, 2009

i have been a student at de anza for almost 3 yrs and my brother and sister went to de anza. De anza definitely has its flaws, but I like it anyways. Luckily De Anza is undergoing remodeling, slowly, but surely. Due to the budget cuts, our class sizes have increased and our extracurricular activities are lessening, but we are making the best out of it. Also, from some reviews I saw (the parents are wrong), students can do well after graduating from De Anza. I know from my siblings and De Anza graduates that after De Anza, one can get into a good college and come out of universities just as strong as people that came from expensive private schools. Lets go DA..lets go =P! We need more school spirit

This school is awful. little to no homework is given. Uniforms for gym are required to buy but not to be worn. How sorry is that? my child missed 1 period 3 days in a row because she did not know her schedule had been changed and worst of all if I had not asked for a progress report who knows how long it would have gone on for.

Hello everyone. I am the parent who submitted the comment on 9/11/08. I 'm retracking my statement that the administrators at De Anza were good and provide a safe environment for our students. On 1/27/09, I had to remove my daughter who is in 12th grade from De Anza due to the Administration's lack of concern for my daughter's safety. De Anza has a good staff and some good teachers but in order for the school to be a success new administratin is needed!!! I am sadden and upset with the support that my husband and I have given De Anza the encouragement to students and staff that the admininstration was working hard for the school and to now see that we were lied to !

De Anza is a sorrow to the neighborhood. The unusual thing is that one of the best elementary schools in the district is just a block or so away. The level of parental involvement, teacher dedication and community support that the local small primary enjoys doesn t necessarily follow into the larger secondary level. I applaud those staunch urban pioneers that have kept their children there, but it s a tough choice to make when your kids are at stake. It's too bad El Sobrante lacks the social & academic anchor to the community that a good high school makes.
