GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best parts of my experience are whenever seeing my friends to hang out before school ends or sometimes before football practice starts. The worst parts are coming back to school and keep repeating it for almost 2 semesters . like to see a difference in remodeling the football stadium seats, rather than old wood.

Los Altos is an outstanding school. I am a third generation graduating from Los Altos. The staff help achieve my goals.

The school overall is great however some staff can be aggressive at times or even just don't help that much with helping you. The clubs and classes offered are incredible showing a wide range of activities from an engineering club to sports like golf and tennis. The school overall is actually very clean as well and while yes it could use a bit of cleaning and repair it is much better than most schools you'll find in the state.
