Great all around school. Excellent academics and athletics. Great for all around educational experience and personal growth.
this school provides a great learning environment for my children, and that the kids are like family and help each other out with school work and everyday stressors.
I loved Milpitas High School! Being the large school that it is, since it's the only high school in town, I still had a rewarding and memorable experience. The school tries their best to reduce class sizes, and their efforts are more than substantial considering major budget cuts. If you don't like the idea, send your kids to private. Both the AP teachers and those that teach electives or regular classes are knowledgeable. In terms of administration (Chuck Gary, Ken Schlaff..attendance), they are easy to contact and are very helpful in dealing with matters, as are the counselors (Beth Harke for instance) I mean, as a student, I think that the parents who complain are those who don't let their children experience high school to its full extent. Encourage your children to become involved, tell them to utilize the available resources in addition to maintaining academics.
I had a very positive experience while attending Milpitas High. It offers plenty of clubs, extra-curricular activities, and a strong atheletic program that students can partake in if they want to get involved. There are many of AP courses taught by qualified teachers. The counselors were very helpful and ecnouraging. However, considering the large size of the campus, there was a lack of parent involvement. I was part ot the PTSA for some time, and there were not a lot of parents who showed up at meetings and events targeted for parents. However, those that did dedicate their time to school were passionate and were at a majority of the school functions. The principal was very approachable and friendly.. It is a melting pot for diversity. I don't believe that overall test scores reflect the student body-- a majority of my class went on to prestigious universities and community colleges.
