Gilroy High School

I came in to this school to make a difference. My students were the best part of the experience. The leadership is was causes high teacher turnover every year. It is ineffective and not on the same page and does not keep students accountable. There is nepotism because the principal is so invested in wrestling that those students get special treatment and the assistant principal has a son in the wrestling program who also gets special treatment. All the other students know this and they do not feel as valued.

Many AP opportunities, many sport opportunities, safe environment and many clubs and events for the students to participate in. They have an excellent dual immersion program for spanish language and a bio technology track as well.

Great opportunities for students! The school has really turned around in the last few years!

Heard horror stories about Gilroy. Read the great schools reviews and noticed that the review were quite a while ago. I moved to the area and was concerned. I called school and asked to speak to the principal... I was amazed that he was available and answered all my questions. He asked me if I wanted to visit the school with my daughter. He took us for a tour! I was very surprised to see a very neat orderly and clean school. I talked to a few teachers and were very positive and enthusiastic about the school. My daughter is enrolled now and is having a great time! The campus is beautiful...impressed so far!! Looking real good.
