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.

I've attended since my 6th grade year, overall not a terrible experience. Made many connections throughout the years. The teachers are really focused on their students.

I loved the theater program and most of my teachers and supporters. Like every school, there's the few bad apples. I would like to see the few bad apples replaced and more than just the sports teams being funded. My favorite parts of the school was it being small and the clubs that made our school known, like robotics and drama club. I liked that my teachers supported me and it felt like the admin did too, just that seemed to have shifted a bit in my last year there and I hope that it changes back to the admin knowing their students and supporting them, even if they aren't in a club or on a sports team.

The attraction to the school was the offering of many AP programs. Over a few years, the school began offering less and less. Most teachers really want their students to succeed and are more than willing to work with students on improving.

Poor communication from staff as well as principal. My daughter has been bulled on numerous occasions. After this school year I will be withdrawing both of my children from San Jose Prep and primary.

Overall we have had a very positive experience at San Jose prep. My daughter has thrived at this school. She went from a public school where she was being bullied and had become a bit of an introvert to being an extrovert and very social and dare I say popular. She gets a lot of support from her tea...

My child spent 1.5 years at this school. I pulled him out half way through this year. He was highly discouraged and failing. They may have a "small school environment," but the classes are overcrowded. He had one great teacher the entire time he was there. Most of the teachers are inexperienced. I r...
