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 would like to see a change in the staffs interaction with our education. I wish staff made our education and futures a priority. They don't believe in us and set us up for failure.

My brother went to UC Berkeley and graduated in the IB program, now he is doing his Masters. I graduated with an AA and BA degree. We are both very successful and have great futures because of the opportunities that San Jose High gave us.

I'm a student at sjh and I can tell you that the only reason that this school gets all its 'hype' from is the IB program. That's it. Gangs. Drugs. Graffiti. A normal class that does not include IB or Honors, has about5% of students learning. The rest, well that's there future.
