GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

it is a safe school with lots of diversity. Teachers and students are supportive and some fixes that could be made is asking each student if they are needing. help.

Honestly, Cupertino High School is a great school that definitely prepares students for college. I would say that the only think that needs to be improved is the school food.

Very competitive school and most students are high academic achievers. My child worked really hard and got a 4.0 unweighted, but somehow wasn't even in the top 10% of her class (but was for the state). It's a great environment for teens to focus on academics, college preparation, and the teachers are supportive.

I have had a negative experience with the Cupertino High School's Game Development Club, which, as far as I know, belongs to Cupertino High School. If you are organizing a competition, please select competent judges who will not be rude to the participants, and be more punctual.

As a student at Cupertino High School, I would value the information I am being given. I am a promising person who is also highly educated, maybe too much for just a 16-year-old going to a public high school. I tolerated criticism and performed effectively under pressure because of the teachers here...

This school was amazing for my younger brother. He had an amazing time. Of course there are some flaws but what school doesn't. There is some "bullying" here and there I guess although from what I've heard it is more of teasing. Overall it is an okay school if you are looking to move into the area.
