James Lick is far better of a school than I could have imagined. Many people give it a bad rep but it really is a fantastic place to learn. The teachers are all sincere and determined to help your child suceed. The new principal Vanderzee is a joy and brings a fresh attitude to a school that wasnt doing too good beforehand.

everything about the principal is great. they only things that should be done is to expel the small amount of gangsters that are left and add more classes that are WORTH it like AP Statistics, AP Computer Science, AP Psychology, French, Italian, Forensic Science, German, Algebra 3 AP, Macroeconomics, and a good marching band or Concert Band.

James Lick has improved so much in recent years due to their Principal Vandersee and other fine staff. I think their teachers are engaged and really care about the students. After major drug trouble at Independence and Piedmont Hills, my son ended up at James Lick as a last choice. As it turns out, It couldn't have been a better choice.

James Lick has been a wreck in the past, but now with all of the Renaissance Academy of Arts, Science, and Social justice students, it will surely improve.

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.
