They cater to a specific demographic for sure. It should be inclusive for ALL students, but sadly it is not!The only positive I can share is the hard working Vice Principal…. she actually tried to keep the kids in line. Lots of people in the area try to school choice out of there and for very good reasons! They recommended my daughter really didn’t need her IEP anymore but said they would still “support” her…. they didn’t and things got pretty bad…. disappointing!!

This school is full of bullies. Not recommended. Many bullying includes racism, discrimination, physical bullying, verbal bullying, and gossip. The kids here has no integrity at all. Everywhere I look, I see kids on videogames when they aren't suppose to, kids with their phones out, and kids constantly break rules here all the time.

I remember my experience in Los Alisos, I remember as a 7th grader in 2018 I made a whole lot of friends I never knew I have never made because I was always a shy kid and I made a ton of friends, I think the thing that I probably remember the most is how much I used to interact with the school I remember going every day with a smile on my face. I highly recommend this school, but times have changed probably since then now I'm a high schooler and time flies so quickly I wish I can turn back time to the good old days.

Los Alisos is an incredible family to be a part of. We love our students, and we love watching them grow.

I had two children go through this school in the last 3 years. Worst 3 years of schooling we've experienced. If it weren't for the Spanish Immersion Program, they would have gone to a different middle school. There are very few good teachers, maybe 3-4 the rest of them have this I'm better than you attitude. It is apparent teachers are unhappy at this school, no help when asking for extra help with keeping grades up. I had a response from a Math teacher when asking for assistance with a homework, math pages to use, websites etc. His response, it's all review. Very disappointed with the staff at Los Alisos and thankful our time there is over.

It was horrible and everyone, including the adults and students, make you feel like you're worth nothing. I truly believe that the year I was in was the worst year that Los Alisos has had.

Teachers are nice, other students are nice, and its fun here. The ASB is a little boring, but that's not the actual point. I have learned a lot here and I'll just put it like that.

This school is a big disappointment , the students are pretty intimidating sometimes and all but we rarely learn anything in class. People were noisy and the teachers are just trying to shut them up for the whole time. The class is really behind in every subject I have. Some students get bullied because of their race or religion especially Asians and Muslims. And other students brag about things that they shouldn't brag about, like the usage of drug and alcohol.and for some reason once someone pulled the fire alarm for an unknown reason and we missed most of that period. I don't recommend this school since I want to move back myself and the police often goes to check our school to catch those troublemakers.

Los Alisos destroyed me. In other words, it ripped out my soul and tore it into pieces, before shoving it back in and sending me off to high school. I came as a bright, happy 7th grader. I left with severe depression and social anxiety. Not only was the curriculum uninteresting and taught me nothing, but there was bullying and an overall judgmental attitude that the teachers did nothing about. I came to the principal several times because of the teasing, but absolutely nothing was done, and my tormentors got away with it easily. I hated going to school, and I did not feel safe there at all. I dreaded each and every day, and even had to leave the classroom several times as the relentless teasing drove me to the edge. I would not recommend this school, especially not if you seek a welcoming and nurturing environment for your child.

I was very satisfied with the education this school provided for my son. The honors program is outstanding and is a great foundation for transitioning into high school as proven by my son's success.
