This school is next to a large mall and has a compact narrow design making it difficult to navigate. Also not diverse friendly as they have great food like garlic naan on holidays that’s about it if your favorite food isn’t naan not a place recommends for you

As a proud parent of a student at Stratford School Milpitas, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude and share my positive experience with all of you. From the very first day my child started at Stratford, it has been an incredible journey of growth, discovery, and joy. The dedicated teachers at Stratford School Milpitas have played a pivotal role in nurturing my child's academic, social, and emotional development. Their commitment to excellence and their passion for teaching has helped my child discover his strengths, build confidence, and truly enjoy the learning process. I am continuously amazed by the personalized attention and care that each teacher provides to every student.I firmly believe that Stratford School Milpitas deserves even more recognition for the exceptional education it offers. By sharing our positive experiences, we can contribute to making this already wonderful school even better.

As a parent, I have found that this school has not given my child strong academic skills and the self-confidence to develop as a learner. His mathematics is his strongest subject, but he does not enjoy math. He reads without understanding what he's reading. He doesn't enjoy writing, and his grammar is improved, but I wish he were learning more than just grammar. He is more quiet at the end of the school year, than he was at the beginning.

The students are completely of average ability and the teachers are average ability, but they assign an advanced curriculum that is too complicated for the students, then blame the teachers when the students cannot handle the advanced curriculum. I have taught middle school students who had stronger communication skills, so perhaps they could handle this advanced curriculum. But the current students enrolled at this school cannot handle this curriculum. The principal is very conventional and the whole school operates on a standardized and cookie-cutter basis where every teacher uses the same standardized curriculum. To apply for a job, they make the teachers jump through multiple hoops. First, the applicants have to take a grammar and mathematics quiz. Grammar is VERY IMPORTANT at this school! Second, the applicants have to write an essay about the topic of where education in the 21st century is going. Third, the applicants have to give a teaching demonstration under very artificial conditions. At the same time, applicants interview for the positions. The principal had no idea what position he was interviewing me for, and he did not know any of the details of the position or the school where I'd be teaching if I got the job. This school is very standardized and cookie-cutter. They do NOT think about differentiation in classroom teaching. True to this cookie cutter approach, I received a rejection form letter. They do not bother with an individual touch, apparently. The look of the school is very square, shiny, box-like, and corporate in keeping with the standardized, corporate mentality.
