The school provides excellent opportunities for all levels of abilities. Students are challenged and rewarded for accomplishments. AP programs are especially well managed. Students needing additional assistance do not lose out at the school. Teachers take responsibility for the success of the students and contact parents with concerns. A super learning environment.

Teachers here expect students to be disinterested in the subject material and education in general, and it shows, judging by the heaping of juvenile 'extra credit' assignments. Irredeemably awful and a complete waste.

Disappointing. Many of the students appear to be disinterested in the classroom work and are disruptive. Quality of teachers appears inconsistent. The buildings are in poor repair. The sports programs appear to be good.

The academic programs are all offered but the curriculum is a joke. Most classes are busywork and few encourage real thinking and a challenge. Parents don't really get invovled, unless its to make sure their child gets in the right classes, since the counselors are hard to approach. There isn't a lot of money going into extra-curriculars, like sports, so a lot of sports have to always to do fundraising and charge hefty athlete fees.

Parent involvement only encouraged by other parents not staff. Overall experience: less than expected.

Overall leadership is more focussed on getting by and activites verses really challenging students to excel and getting the school among the elite schools in California. Principal not aggressive in ensuring resources are adequate and up to standards for students and teachers to optimize their educational experience. Needs to raise the bar higher, challenge the staff and students more...

Live Oak HS has a variety of programs available however I feel that the teacher involvement with the students outside of the programs is minimal. Parents are not regularly encouraged to be involved. And most of the school programs are underfunded requiring fundraising programs for most middle and low income families to participate.

Live Oak now has grades 9-12. They have an excellent independant studies program, also.
