[quote=Anonymous][quote]Schools in Cupertino, Los Gatos, and Saratoga are fantastic. [quote]

[/quote]I think what would be more accurate is that those school districts have extremely high test scores and don't have gang problems. They have very high workloads and the students are intensely competitive. The work is not more challenging, but it is high volume. There are a lot of academically focuses families so kumon, russian math, etc is a big deal, and if you want your kid to be in the high ability tracking for math, you need to have them in those outside classes.

And of course the art, music, computer class, etc is all funded by parent donations, the same as anywhere else here.[/quote]

Did/do you live here? I have heard that Cupertino is more intense. Los Gatos and Saratoga not super intense and while students care about academics it isn't competitive. STEM is big out here and the elementary schools have lots of science and engineering.  The work out here seems easier to the kids because its clearer. The assignments aren't worded or set up in a way that is almost intentionally confusing. Grading is absolutely harder out here and teachers grade the work. [/quote]
