If you're thinking about enrolling your child into this school…read moreplease read this review before so, I have been at this school since I was in TK and my sister too. It used to be a good school that kids enjoyed but now it's like prison. Many kids in all different grades suffer from bullying and harassment. My last year there which was in 5th grade because I couldn't go there anymore even if it was last year there. I was harassed by a kid who would tell girls just dirty stuff and the principal would just not do anything ,we got the police involved and she would constantly try to hide from them to the point that the case closed due to this. The kids parents that harassed me even followed a kid home and started telling him stuff and the dad even brought his own kid to fight a kid that didn't want anything to do with him. I was told by the principal that "what happens in this school stay in this school". Which was a big no, kids should tell their parents about this ,not just let happen in the school, I suffered there all 5th grade because of bullying harassment and even more while principal would just not do anything about it beacause she's lazy that doesn't help and do her dang job??? She should go to jail for all this she's done!!!! Please save ur child from this torture.

Evergreen Valley High School has serious accountability issues. Administration often brushes aside…read morestudent concerns, especially regarding safety. Some teachers grade subjectively without clear rubrics, making expectations unclear and inconsistent. With ongoing budget deficits, the school should focus on retaining teachers who genuinely care about student growth, learning, and success, while addressing poor teaching practices. Students deserve a safe, supportive environment where concerns are taken seriously, grading is fair, and staff are held accountable.

Campbell Union High School District is a urban school district in the south-west portion of Santa…read moreClara Valley. This office is the central administrative office where the superintendent and the staff have their offices. Campbell Union HSD is relatively highly regarded as far as districts go and generally are ahead of the curve when implementing advances. All their high schools tend to be high performing academically and are some of the best in the Silicon Valley. The staff here is generally helpful and knowledgeable and the office building has been maintained well. However, their hands are tied by the laws, regulations and policies which sometimes makes people go through hoops. This should not be considered a negative as this is what you would get in all districts. I've been in (and have dealt with) 5 districts in the South Bay (including the County Office of Education) and I think the staff here is among the best.

I live that the school Has a variety of after school programs: the homework club, UJam dance/exercise classes, and they seem to always encourage the children to lead a healthy lifestyle. The only drawback or question is the "Common Core" as a curriculum. I'm not quite sold on it yet. It seems to be lengthier in problem solving than simply doing it the old-fashioned way. The more I research and read about it, I'm tending to have stronger feelings against it. I'll hold my verdict out until the end of the year though. As parents, know that you have an "opt out" option for Star Testing, etc. I suggest you do your own homework on the topics and make your own opinion as well. 5 Stars as I highly recommend the school!

My son transferred to this school for 1st Grade. It was not the smoothest of transitions, but…read moreduring those critical first few months, it became apparent to us what the strengths of this school were: 1. Committed Staff -- Everybody, from the principal to the teachers and support (student services and after school), is committed to help out the students and their parents. We had a meeting within the first few months to discuss my son's progress and brainstormed how to help him out in certain situations that we had identified as "tricky". 2. Quality of the teachers -- I saw the reviews. Fortunately, my son was placed with teachers that understood him and motivated him to get excited and persevere with the lessons. Recently (after his first year), I discovered that they strongly encourage parents at the end of each schoolyear to fill out a form that details kids' strengths/weaknesses/learning styles, etc... all to help them identify which teacher is best for your kid(s). And this pandemic was a blessing in disguise for us -- in the few times we were able to listen to their Zoom classes, we saw and heard the joy and the positive energy his 2nd Grade teachers have. These came across strongly, and the kids are excited to participate and raise their hands to answer questions. My son can't even wait to wake up for in-person classes or log onto Zoom (on Zoom days). Now I understand why his homeroom teacher has to have a big tall Americano everyday :D 3. Sense of community -- all of these build that feeling in the students that school is a safe and happy place. We felt it in the first few minutes that we looked at the playground before my son's "interview". The students recognized that my son was not a student in the school, but they welcomed him and showed him the ropes around the playground. Nobody told them to play with my son, they did that all on their own. There were some spats with a kid on the playground during the 1st grade, but the situations were always handled with care by the staff, in a very fair manner. After a week or so it stopped, and the kid picking on my son actually became his friend. 4. Academics and extra-curricular -- I must admit that the extra-curricular program (esp the arts) was the first draw for us. Robust programs that build on all the way to high school. And the after-school programs are also well-chosen and well-run. The only nit I have, and it's very minor-- is the tuition fee. It's not cheap. But I recognize that in order to recruit and keep their valuable staff and provide their topnotch programs, they will need those resources. All in all, we are just so happy with the school, and we have been telling our friends about it. If you are thinking about placing your children here -- (1) Do it as early as Kindergarten, or (2) Do it early (for the upper grades); check their admissions calendar on the website. Re-enrollment levels for the current students is high so available slots for transferees are so few, think 2-3 slots.
