    Hands down, the best high school in Santa Clara…read more ACADEMICS - The school has been accredited for many years now and offers many AP classes, including: European & US History, Economics, English, Biology, Spanish, Statistics, Calculus, etc. Great group of teachers and staff too. SPORTS & SPIRIT TEAMS - We've got all the traditional high school sports you can think of from water polo to basketball to tennis. If your child wants to play football or join a spirit team (cheer, dance, or the Chargettes dance/drill team), then they should really go here. SPIRIT - The Homecoming Week and Fantastics (Battle of the Classes) celebrations are fantastic. For the last few years there has also been a Black & Blue Olympics, hosted by the city's teen center, for both high schools in Santa Clara. EXTRACURRICULARS - Lots. There are multicultural clubs, service clubs, an ungarbage crew (recycling), Link Crew (orientation leaders), colorguard and band, theatre, and more. We also boast a Sony Star Class Program. FACILITIES - Well they are really giving the school a facelift in recent years, although before I loved the way the classrooms and gyms looked bc that's what I grew up seeing when I visited. But can't complain about spankin' new facilities or a very nice theater. P.S. Class of 2009! :)

    This school is a little hidden gem in the middle of Santa Clara…read more We are very, very, very happy we found it. Staff is very kind and helpful. Teachers are very nice and experimented. It's a catholic school and it's a very welcoming environment to anyone: all ethnicities, backgrounds, religions... They will not force you to something or treat you differently because of A or B. What I really like is indeed how diverse it is and that it also offer a good "work-life balance" for the little ones. St Lawrence offers a good education, with values and has a great after school program. It is competitive the right amount for us. I visited several other private schools but they were either not diverse, or way too competitive, 1 fit all style, and with too many helicopter parents. I want my kids to have a nurturing childhood, discover different kinds of people and not develop little robots that would do 5th grade maths in 2nd grade. It is so easy to fall in that trap, especially now and here in the Silicon Valley. What I also loved is that they offer Spanish, Drama and art (with a real specialized teachers) embedded in the curriculum. They have a recreative after school program (Crafts and games), but they also offer thematic programs (chess, programming, art, magician...) for a small extra fee. They have a competitive swim team on site (amazing!). Some things had to be stopped during Covid (after school, swim team), but it is my understanding that these will re-open in September 2021. Cost wise, it is way more affordable than most private schools in the Bay Area, and you can apply for aid as well. The school re-opened part time in Oct 2020 and full time in Jan 2021. Was such a help for the kids (and parents) I imagine. The only "complaint" I would have, is that they should do a little more anticipation and be better at organizing or setting up things (for example pool reopening, Science teacher coming in person etc.) But I blame most of it on a challenging 2020 year - for all of us. Thank you Mrs Lares, the Principal and the entire St Lawrence team!

    Not good Not really not at all. Don't trust the teachers…read moreand aides. They can smile while gossiping and laughing and making fun of the kids. They think they're so cool. They are not. Just really immature and self important. It's all about them. Ps if Carina is still principal she encouraged bullying and I saw ad heard her myself. "Now is not the time " during class time. Next thing you know someone is getting ganged up on on the playground. She's a piece of work. She makes herself that way. She's loony I have many more examples. When half the class is crying on the last day of school something is wrong. So they promoted her. Sick.

This being our first year of having her in school all day and all week, it was a little nerve wrecking for everyone but within the first week we were all put at ease. Seeing how excited she is to get up and go to school everyday to not only see her friends but her teachers makes me feel so good. She is being set up for success when it's time to move on to the next grade. The community is so welcoming as well, it's easy to talk to other parents and even with staff. We are so glad we went with St Justin's!

The students were so kind and playful; the teachers and staff were welcoming, encouraging and optimistic of the future. Years later, this is still true. I especially love the way they teach the students the "3Rs" - to be Respectful, Responsible and Resilient. It's more than book learning (which is going great too!). I appreciate the opportunity to volunteer at school events as it offers me insight into the dynamics of the interactions of the class and school. I see students who are engaged, excited to learn and grasp new ideas. I see students who still acknowledge their previous teachers and truly embrace positive memories with them. I also love their buddy program, where the older students partner with the younger ones - bridging the age gap. It develops accountability for the older while offering a sense of belonging to the younger. I can't say enough great things I see here. The most important one is that I see a staff who try their best every day to build a community that will far outgrow the walls and grades. Once you are a part of the family, you're never truly on your own.

    Ah man, really?! My former middle school deserves better than a three star rating…read more As a Cougar alum who graduated in the mid-2000's, I am proud to have gone here. It is one of four middle schools in Santa Clara and is located conveniently next to the city's Youth Activity Center (YAC) and Teen Center. ACADEMICS - I find the academic instruction to be good, although maybe not as high-achieving as that of Peterson. In 6th grade the students will have the same set of 30-35 students in every class while teachers will change. Then in 7th/8th grade there will be the same students in every "core" class (where one period is Language Arts and the other Social Studies) while in the other classes the teachers and students will change. Additionally, in 7th/8th grades there will be the option to take an elective class, which includes: leadership, art, TAing (teacher assistants), and a few more. SPORTS - There is a variety of afterschool sport programs here, including: volleyball, basketball, wrestling, soccer, and more. When I was a student here, there was a no cuts rule which was unique against the other middle schools. The wonderful thing about this is it encourages fitness and doesn't exclude any student. FACILITIES - The facilities are nice but unfortunately the school does not have school lockers or a gym like that of Peterson and Buchser since those two are former high schools. However, this is rarely a problem as textbooks are distributed in sets of two (one for the student to take home and one kept in class) and the YAC allows the middle school to use its gym. FUN FACTS - The 49ers STEM Leadership Institute (science, tech, engineering, math) is held here! Also, it may or may not be true that the principal Stan Garber plays whiffle ball with students in the mornings :).

Through the word of mouth, I knew that this…read moreschool will be academically challenging in spite of him being a very strong student in middle school. He was prepared to work hard. But he was not prepared that while working like he has never worked before, he would enjoy himself so much in the process. Both, he and I were touched, when more than one of his teachers sendt him encouraging emails, noticing that he worked hard while trying to adjust to the new school and find his own rhythm and method. His Chemistry, Chinese, English, and History teachers were cheering him on, knowing he wanted to take Honors classes next year and were always available for extra help. I have read reviews of Harker, where parents (or their friends) complained about the quality of teachers. In our first year at Harker, I only saw teachers who want their kids to excel, who are experts in their areas, who know how to motivate kids, and help them realize their full potential. When he started at Harker, my son joined DECA club and fell in love with all things marketing and business because of the two teachers and DECA team. He traveled and competed within a few months of joining DECA. He enjoyed his time with the students and made lots of friends. He was happy that he could talk finally with kids about politics, history, as well as other teenage topics. Harker Dance and Theater programs are very impressive. The new theater is beautiful and their boy hip hop dance team is really top notch. I love it that the school with such strong academic emphasis is developing the whole child, offering arts, sports, and really wide variety of activities. Choosing what to spend time on is hard. But it is a good problem to have. I have not heard any complaints from him about unhealthy competition or lack of friends at school. Based on our experience so far, Harker created an environment where kids who love learning get to do just that, learn, and enjoy themselves in the process.
