I have my child in 2nd grade. I feel that Millikin can get more out of kids for math. My child needs to be challenged more at home since he is not challenged in school. Even the spellings can be a little more interesting then whats been done and given. Overall its a great school, tachers are vey experienced.Most of the kids know more than what they have been doing at school.....hence feel that they are capable of doing much more at school too.

Millikin is a special program school in Santa Clara. When compared to my neighbor's kid (also in Santa Clara), the progresses and varities (in kindergarten) are quite obvious. Millikin's kindergarteners have more homeworks everyday and have regular computer and science labs. Parents are required to volunte at least 10 hours per year.

My daughter is 5th grader in Millikin. It is an exellent school, with very high academic standards. Homework is required every day starting kindergarten. Math, science, reading, English, social studies are presented on the very high level. This school is not for everybody. Some parents may say it's too overloading and too stressful, but in my opinion this is the way proper school should be.(I grew up in Russia). In scores it is the best school in CA.

After the arrival of the new principal, things seem to ease a little. That means things are not as 'strict' or 'by the book' as it used to be. Still, very challenging academically. Due to district's budget cuts, Millikin now has a staggered half-day Kindergarten program that many parents have been very concerned about - in fact, Kindergarteners are not as well 'adkusted' as those of the previous classes this year.

Millikin has a perfect score last year and was the #1 school in the entire state of california. Need I say more!

Very high quality method of teaching. Basic skills being taught in Math, Science and English. Most students are smart and hardworking. I think the success of this school is due to parent participation in school activities and another factor is the high level of education of the parents.

Great school academically. The principal is in her first year and is flying 'under the rador' for now. Very tight school community as well.
