The speaker at our local Realtor's tour meeting yesterday was April Scott, the principal at Monte Vista High School in Cupertino, a very impressive but approachable woman.
There are 6 area high schools listed in US News & World Report as being among the top 100 high schools in the country. They are, by ranking:
# 49 Mission San Jose High
# 59 Monte Vista High
# 66 Henry Gunn HS
# 72 Saratoga HS
# 73 Lynbrook HS
# 85 Palo Alto HS
Monte Vista has a reputation as being particularly strong in math and the sciences, but she made it clear that their true emphasis is on the student "as a whole person." For that reason, they solicit parental and student support for athletic, music and art programs...they even have a wood shop! Despite recently completed new construction, the school still has attendance beyond capacity. Ms. Scott promised that through strict enforcement of area attendance rules, they will still be able to accommodate all students who live in the district.
