cool. right on. im just wondering how accurate those rankings really are.

 

Yeah...every HS in cuptertino is rated a 10. You want them to rank them in 10.1, 10.23?

Cupertino is one of the nicest and most affluent towns in the south bay, she really cant go wrong with any of their HSs

note the social life section.

but i don't think they're open enrollment so unless you live in the specified area, you can't attend mv. (you need to prove residency w/ a pge bill) not saying they're the best hs, but they're super academic if that's what she's looking for.

 

monta vista for sure man, no questions about it as far as academics go

 

/\ yup Monta Vista = 99.5% asian Chinese

 

im a monta vista alumni.. lol its a good school.. .

its like going to school in asia.. haha

 

Monta Vista High School, no question.

21840 McClellan Rd
Cupertino, CA 95014

Lynbrook is also good, but knowing lynbrook kids, they generally seem to be 100% focused on academics, while MV is highly academic focused but still manage to retain a very healthy social life. Maybe I'm just biased, I went to Monta Vista.

However, MV is considered to be the top rated high school in the region, more so than lynbrook, and even the name of the high school helps in college applications, etc. The area is nice, rich, and nestled right by the foothills. They just finished up a new library and i'm pretty sure the auditorium. The MV campus is definitely nicer than the Lynbrook campus. I used to go driving in the mountains during my lunch break.

Anyway, that's just me. I had a fantastic time at MV, and even after 2 years of college, my best friends are still the ones from high school.

 

HAHAHAHAHA!

Generally, I'd consider this to be true, but some of the wildest parties I've ever been to were put on by MV class of 05 and 06 students. Some of them rival even fraternity rush parties in size. It really depends on the group of people you hang out with. I had an absolutely fantastic time. I sorta slacked, I only had a 3.2gpa, but I still managed to get into Davis and Irvine. There's definitely a social life present, you just have to hang out with the people who do those things.

 

schools around here have lots of little groups that do their own thing. some study and play world of warcraft..... some shoot up heroin and have unprotected premarital sex...

 

either monta vista or lynbrook those are the best in the district i graduated lynbrook last yr we had 28 valedictorians and my friend wouldve been one but he got a b once haha

 

im also a monta vista alumni from 03. the best for academics, if the student is not an "a" student, they will become a stoner

 

or steve cabellero or the drummer from primus, my dad went to the same school as them, different years.

 

Umm... Is she a MILF?

We are gonna need to see some photos (for strictly educational purposes only) before we can comment any further...
