I think the school in cupertino are over rated, and so is Garden Gate. So the only real beneficiaries are the home owners renting their houses or the apartment communities who charge a premium due to cupertino school district. What matters is how good a teach your kid gets, Our son has been going to Garden gate for the past 3 years - All of the 3 years we were not fortunate to see good teacher, the teachers were average and one was really below average. The only thing positive is that the Parent involvement is very high, so many gaps in school activities are fulfilled by volunteering parents. The education system in california is really broken, the school infrastructure is pathetic.

As a teacher at Garden Gate, I have to say that I love our school, our kids, and our parent community because I feel that we all work together to make our school wonderful. I love coming to school everyday because I work with a group of teachers who give their all for the amazing students they work with each and every day. Have a wonderful day!

This is a school where parents did a lot of efforts in helping their kids to achieve, not the teachers. There were other families we know complaining about the teachers.

Most of the teachers are wonderful. There is NO favoritism at all. They are involved, and are very friendly. My child's 5th grade teacher Mrs.Hastings was excellent. The principal is very involved. She makes sure the kids have fun, while learning. The campus is clean, and the school itself looked inviting.

This is a school where parents did a lot of efforts in helping their kids to achieve, not the teachers. I moved my son out of this school after 2 years of trying. We were not alone. There were other families we know complaining about the teachers. They are not the ones you ask for help. They gave you only one choice: retaining your child if they show the sign not being able to make 4 sentences structures or not being able to do addition and subtraction in kindergarten.

This school is a good school because it has balanced homework, there is a garden in the back of the school, the teachers explain thouroughly and tests are every 3-5 weeks.

This school is really good and encourage all the parents to get involved in as many ways they can. Most of the teachers are dedicated. At the same time, it is parents pressure that makes the student get more smart. Some teachers even have partiality and they encourage the child they like and discourage the child they are not fond of. Sounds weird, but very true. submitted by a parent.

Great school with wonderful teachers and lots of extra curricular activities. As parents we are given lots of opportunities to involve ourselves with school activities and above all the school is basically parent friendly.
