Both of my sons attended Los Gatos High School. The staff was very kind, direct, firm, and supportive. One of my sons had special needs, and they gave him the tools to not only thrive, but to excel. I recommend ANY parent who has questions about the school to contact the principal. You can make an appointment and discuss at length any concerns before moving to LG, especially if you have a student that needs extra support.
Thanks LGHS!
