This year our two freshmen entered Los Altos High and as the year is coming to a close I am still pleased by the staff, teachers, sports, theatre and the arts. My daughters academic programs are varied and suit both of them. The decision to go to Los Altos has been more than a good one. I look forward to our next three years.

I have had two teens graduate from LAHS. I have been very impressed with the Principal Mrs Satterwite, and many of teachers have been inspiring. The school can be a role model for children in life as they have the opportunity to meet teens who must work to support themselves and treasure the chance to go to school. There are many outstanding students at this school and they have a great record at getting kids into both private and public schools. We will have a third at LAHS and I am looking forward to it!

I rate the school as good (not excellent or even very good). The Administration is good, but they need more leadership. The teaching staff is good, and the sports programs are very good.

Having had children in both the high schools in our area, I have to say they are both excellent. But while many consider Mountain View High the better of the two because of its scores, I must say that LAHS was the best... for a few reasons. First, LAHS has fewer students, and all that that implies, which is a lot. MVHS has too many students and the teachers and staff always seem overworked and a bit short. LAHS is more relaxed. Because of the community, LAHS has a lot more funding and seems to be using it wisely. Everything is less expensive there, because they have more money for extras. (A very small example is that mand. gym clothes were about 1/3 less there.) Also, getting to and from the school, there is considerably less traffic, because you are mostly on large streets. Overall they are both excellent academically.

As parents of children who relocated midterm, we can only have the highest praise for this school. Our children were accepted into the school and activities and made to feel part of Los Altos right from the start. Excellent support and guidance from the councellors as well, and superb teachers that did more than just teach - they really were pushing the envelope and challenging our children to think beyond what is required to pass the tests.
