James Lick is better than you may think. The teachers are dedicated to the students and do give homework. They even correct the homework with advice and comments included. I chose to send my sons there instead of another school. I will choose James Lick for my other children as well. As a parent, I'm part of the team that educates my children.

James Lick is not that great of a school. But if you have a chance of enrolling your kid in a better school the you better do it. It is probably one of the worst school is San Jose. The academics wasnt all that great either. My child barely got any homework at all. I automatically removed my kid from this school. The bottom line is this school isnt that good. There are many schools around san jose that a 5 times better that James Lick.

The teachers and administration continue to make a significant effort to identify student needs and determine methods to address these. The 'small school' atmosphere lends itself to a greater sense of unity among the students and faculty. The completion of the current sports facility upgrade (a major undertaking) should add a sense of pride to the entire James Lick High School community!

I love it! the teachers are great and really love the kids. Most of them teach our kids not because of money, but because they love them and want to see them succeed.

I have two children, one of which graduated from Lick in June. My child was in honors and advance placement classes and maintained as 3.5 GPA, while participating in afterschool sports. My remaining child is a Junior this year and loves every minute at Lick. The new administration team is wonderful and caring. They are attentive to each and every students needs, along with the teachers needs and desires. Music and Art are important to our school and the students strive to excel to their highest ability. There is nothing negative I can say about James Lick. Come see for yourself and stop listening to outsiders. James Lick High School is truly a 'Diamond in the Ruff'.

The school needs help funding wise and academic-wise. The teachers have great hearts but the school suffers from students who come in with a defeatist attitude.
