I really like this school because my daughter is highly motivated to excel and she hasn't been motivated for a few years. She is excited to go to school and do well. They accept all students who are gifted choose whether or not they want to take honors classes and will add them if necessary to help challenge them. I feel this is a great success! (Their cheeleaders can use a lot more work)

Amazing school, amazing teachers, amazing athletics. Los Osos is ranked as one of the finest schools in United States By World News. It API test results prove that there is not finer school in the area. We feel very honored that our children are able to attend this school.

Great school for acedemic acheivement. Athletic programs, band, drama, etc are all strong. The Alta Loma school district is the always rated strongest in the area. Because of the large amount of students, student talent is sometimes overlooked in order to support participation by many. Be aware that after school activities demand a large amount of your student's time and energy. Insure that they maintain an acedemic priority. Top 10 precent acedemic performance and a good SAT will result in scholarship offers Los Osos is well supported by parents and local community. it is a fairly new school that has wasted little time in placing itself at the top of the list in many areas.

Los Osos has done very well for my son who will be off to USC this upcoming year. The area is also very nice and prestigious, making the schools student body very educated and relaxed.

Great school but that's mainly because of the area. Super drama/theatre department and their productions are outstanding. Club kids dominant many of the sports because families can afford it.

Los Osos is the number one school in the San Bernardino county, the speaks for itself. This school is like no other in the area. Los Osos also has a great variety of AP courses, which outnumber by far those of any other school.

Great School ! Large portion going off to top-notch schools. Daughter graduated last year, now at Princeton. However students do come off as snobish and are very materialistic. Los Osos is the Beverly Hills high of the county.

Superb School!! Los Osos is clearly one of the best in the nation. I m a proud parent boasting about the fact that Los Osos received a Silver Metal and was ranked one of America s best schools by U.S. News. We are truly the best choice for High School in the area. I searched 3 local High Schools in the area and none of them received the type of recognition that Los Osos currently has. The students at Los osos score are some of the highest in the nation. This is a clear example of the teachers abilities, the Administrations assistance and the parent s participation. Everyone works as a team here and us parents are proud to have our children attend such a fine school to prepare our children for the best possible future they could possibly have. Don t just take my word for it research it yourself.

Disappointment! Any teen in need of special education stay away. Not parent or student friendly. Administration does not address needs and ignores grievances of any kind. Few good teachers but clearly the minority.
—Submitted by a parent
Los Osos is just a great place to learn. The honors and ap programs are thriving with top notch teachers. Especially in the english department. Also the campus is much nicer than most high schools I have seen and it always makes me proud to say that I go to Los Osos.
—Submitted by a student
Los Osos for 2nd year has been ranked as one of the Finest High School in the UNITED STATES, not just in this area. That speaks for itself. None of the schools in this area really compare to the academic excellence that can be found at Los Osos. Top quality teachers and administration. Los Osos excels in all areas academic's, Athletics, Arts.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

In 2011-2012 California used the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
