The teachers are of good quality and highly committed to their students. My son attended Village for 3 years from 2011 to 2014 and I have never been more impressed with a school (and with 4 children, they have attended quite a few between them). He was at Amador for a year and I felt the school was too big and he was lost. The small school, warm environment of Village was just what he needed to succeed.

HA AH! you can yelp high schools now, amazing…read more Anyways I went to Mission San Jose High School since my freshmen year and graduated year of 06, this school is constantly known as one of the top high schools and ...it is true if you look at test results etc.. after all after the new SATs were out the first time it was given 3 out of the 4 people who got full score were from our school. This school is mainly composed of ... you guessed it! asians!! and no just like the famous Russel Peters said asians are not just Chinese, there are many koreas and indians as well. I had a great experience at this school but there are a few down falls. First the administration does not very closely monitor how teachers work, but then again I don't think other schools do as well, but some teachers are just ... I want to say F****** Retarded, no names now but my junior year English teacher Mr. _____(his last name was a color so take a wild guess) was a fruit basket with bananas on top, he thought he was the smartest man ever and his grading was extremely unfair. Also my sophomore year English teacher was the weirdest man ever, he spent one class telling the whole class how we're stupid and not going to succeed in life, interesting to say the least.. Also many other English teachers I didn't have I also heard some pretty bad things about. Actually now that I think about it only the English department had some issues, so MSJ needs to up their game in that area. Secondly, the cafeteria staff wasn't friendly at all, the asian lady who works there seems like she always has her pants pulled up too high or something, always rude to everyone and never said you're welcome when we said thank you. But I had some very good experiences as well, the leadership teacher/ activities coordinator was very good and fun to work with Mr. B! and our principal was pretty cool as well. The majority of the teachers were good but there are a few bad eggs that ruin the basket. It's too bad. FINALLY, I must finish saying, that the cupertino high schools yes LYNBOOK, Monta Vista, etc.. you guys need an update on test scores, I'm so sick of those chinese parents over there telling their kids that they high school is the best etc etc.. that was 10 years ago, check the scores now we're on a whole other level ahead of you guys, I'm so sick of being in college and having those cupertino kids think they are so much smarter than us, REALITY CHECK TIME!!!

Science is underfunded, parents and students are forced to donate to compromise and make learning science fun. History isn't paid enough attention to, english dumps honors and non honors together making a slow learing experience for everyone overall and not being able to give the individual student their best needs. For example, a non honors child may be forced to or expected to complete tasks out of their skill level, or honors children may be stuck in a non-learning environment unable to progress. Otherwise for safety they're fine, they take the standard procedures when there are dangers. They messed up due to conflation between alarms, students believing an earthquake alarm was an alert to a threat on campus, but nothing life threatening. Office staff are fine, quite friendly. They don't pay well, either, so lots of staff appear and dissapear.

However, if your child suffers from bullying, the motto, 'Kids Come First', is quite the opposite. Where the the bully comes first is actually more like it. Administration becomes robotic and uncaring. If you threaten to pull your child, they run around promising the world (so as not to loose the $5000+ per year they get for your student) only to disappoint and ultimately make your child suffer by doing nothing to solve the problem if you decide to keep your child in their school. Same old problem, no solutions, intensely inflexible, robotic administration. Time for an alternate solution that's best for my kid. Because my KID comes first to me.

They are incredibly kind and have a great sense of humor, which makes the classroom such a positive and welcoming place for the children. Together, they create an environment where every child feels seen and heard, and they build strong, meaningful connections with their students. Ms.Giri brings a nurturing and gentle approach, truly understanding that the children are still young kindergarteners. She pampers them with warmth and care, making them feel safe, comforted, and supported every day. Ms.Vohra, on the other hand, beautifully complements this by encouraging the children to become more responsible and independent. She ensures they learn to follow rules and classroom routines, helping them grow with confidence and structure. They are both attentive to the children's needs and address concerns promptly. We also have experienced their genuine care firsthand. On two occasions when my daughter misplaced her sweater, Ms.Giri went above and beyond to help--she even replaced it with a new one so my daughter wouldn't worry. Whenever my daughter has taken a sick day, she has always made it a point to personally call and check on her health, which means so much to us. They also ensured we receive the essential homework sheets on time so my daughter could keep up. These gestures truly touch our hearts and reflect the deep care and dedication they have for her students.

We are so grateful for the love, dedication, and positivity she brings. Any child would be lucky to be in her class! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her to move to being a 1st grade teacher!

I'm currently a student here and all the common misconceptions are so very wrong. Many people…read moreconceive that Kennedy is a school for the 'bad' kids, well you are wrong. Coming into this school, I believed what people told me; that this school was filled with gangs, that the students didn't care about college, the teachers didn't care, and that it's overall a bad environment for a student. Now that I am a student here, my view has entirely changed. The students here are working on changing what the public thinks of Kennedy. In the future Kennedy will be a college going school. To be frank, there are people who dress like gangsters, but in reality they act like any other high school student. The AVID program at Kennedy is spearheading the college going culture thanks to Mr. Dave Williams. Kennedy is currently the only AVID certified school in FUSD. For those who don't know what AVID is, it is a program that is designed to give students the tools and the mind thought to get students into Four-year Universities. http://www.tricityvoice.com/articlefiledisplay.php?issue=2011-05-31&file=AVID+++TCV.txt Currently, the Class of 2012 AVID Class has 71 College Acceptances split between 15 students. Not bad. Many of the teachers at Kennedy truly care for the students and they actually want the students to succeed. The only problem is the students' work ethic. Many of the students are smart, but generally very lazy. If parents were more involved in their own child's life, it would better their education, and overall make Kennedy a better place for education. For the time that I've been here, I've felt very safe. It's a very family-like atmosphere here at Kennedy, there are no cliques at all. Everyone is friends with each other. The only downside at Kennedy is that the school is so poor and we do not get enough funding. We are so technologically behind here at Kennedy that it's funny. I really hope that in the future when I have kids, that Kennedy will be rebuilt/remodeled. The school is extremely old and fragile. Overall, I would not hesitate to send any child to this school. You truly have to experience it yourself in the end.
