Her counselors, teachers (e.g. Messner, Arias, Russo,Blach,Wei,Cathy) badminton coaches all deserve medals of honor!! Daughter started 2017. She liked all the teachers. Great facilities. All teachers I met seem dedicated and nice. I like their "Challenge Day" where kids are taught to be nice to fellow classmates. I'm glad I volunteered for the 3 days they brought pioneers/captains of different industries to educate kids about their professions and how they succeed in life and how to avoid bullying by appreciating fellow students, some of whom are hurting inside. I learned a lot from these lectures.

I attended LAHS back in the late 80's early 90's... yes... way back then... and let me tell you…read more.. I have mixed feelings for LAHS. Education: High standards if you are the right kid whose counselor has interest and believes in you. My counselor insisted I attend a JC first... you know.... something my family could afford (I was an honor student!!!) being that I was from the other side of the tracks! But I managed... took many AP and honors courses... did not go to JC... got myself into many fine institutions of higher learning... Social Life: At LAHS... Cliques rule the quad... well, they used to, but something tells me it is the same old thing! While I was there I had two groups of friends... my recess crew and my lunch crew. The two did not mix I have always beenneutral and get along with almost anyone. So, this system worked for me. Teachers and Staff: I had teachers that have been there their whole careers. A bit spooky if you ask me. I think someone had even been a student there... It is a bit too much. The staff was interesting indeed. I knew most of them, being that I tried to participate in anything I could. Overall: Great education. Snobbery everywhere, had to try to fit in with the crowd. Academics a plus! I just think that originally coming from living in major cities, Los Altos was a bit too sleepy for my taste. But I thank my parents for the effort. ;-) If I had to do it over again I guess I would take the 4 years of torture again... It made me who I am today... an intelligent snobby gal... of course... only when needed! Go Eagles!

I disagree with the other review, junior high was awesome and the faculty at Egan is outstanding; I graduated in 2008 and I still go back to say hello to old teachers who've now become old friends. Some of the facilities are fairly nice relative to Cupertino middle schools such as our gym, but the track is definitely lacking since it's still a dirt track. Lots of traffic here around 3pm on Portola, so watch out for that. A lot of great things going on at this school--it's also at the forefront of technology usage in the area.

My children have attended The Waldorf School of the Peninsula for the past four years. While many…read moreof the teachers are caring, dedicated, and deeply invested in their students' growth, the same cannot be said for the school's leadership and administration. Unfortunately, the administration is dysfunctional, lacks transparency, and demonstrates poor alignment in priorities and resource allocation. The school has a large population of neurodivergent students, yet the current educational support structure is alarmingly inadequate. This year, the entire "educational support team" for the Mountain View campus (grades 6-12) -- consisting of ONLY one learning specialist and one counselor -- has been stretched even further to cover the Los Altos campus (grades Kindergarten-5). The administration claims to have a "robust educational support team". However, a staff of 2 people is far from robust and is completely insufficient to serve the needs of the entire school (Kindergarten - 12th grade). Despite my repeated efforts to raise this concern with the administration, they failed to take any meaningful action. While the teaching staff genuinely care about their students, the lack of administrative competence and adequate support services significantly undermines the school's ability to meet the needs of all learners. There are many excellent public and private schools in the area that are far better equipped to support diverse students. Your child deserves that level of care and commitment.

They just give a book to read for English, and they don't give you a standardized curriculum for testing , and most topics like grammar(phrases, part of speech), reading comprehension and vocabulary is not included. They don't even have history class. Science class is just doing science experiments that don't follow a standardized course. Not only they don't have a standardized course but the experiments are usually something to learn a long time ago, eg refraction or reflection. On top of behind in most classes, they also spend too much time on arts, music, dance that are optional classes to take in high school. And they have a fundraising thing for 8th grade that took up all the time for learning and it is mandatory. So Waldorf, therefore is not a good place to spend your time and money on if you're serious about education, GPA, and getting into a good college
