San Leandro High School

They need to improved a lot of motivation. Often student are in trouble during resset

Shameful. It would be reasonably for the school to be closed down and individual student files, behavioral issues, and grade passing to be reviewed by an independent evaluator.

My son is a freshman at SLHS and we have several neighbors with older kids currently at SLHS or who are graduates. SLHS is a large urban high school that is ethnically and socioeconomically diverse. While this creates some challenges, I believe there far more benefits. In developing my son to one day launch into the world as a caring and successful adult, he is having a good educational experience and he is having experiences that are positively impacting him to have more empathy, self-sufficiency, and drive. This school is not perfect, and probably not a good fit for a child who needs a lot of sheltering. If you stand out front one morning while all the students are streaming in for the start of classes, the large crowd can look intimidating. There are families who qualify for free lunches and kids who are struggling, and certainly more parent involvement would be help -- but this school reflects the real world. My son is happy at the school, he's doing well, and we have found all his teachers so far to range from good to excellent. Two teachers (of the six this semester) in particular really go out of their way to support the students. The school seems to be heading in a positive direction and we are overall very happy with the school (and very happy with living in San Leandro, having moved here from San Francisco).

The student bathrooms aren't always clean. Sometimes the student toilets are overflowing with urine and feces and are always dirty. The School is multi-culturally diverse and has a lot of great programs. There are all kinds of students: some honors students, some average students, and some remedial students.
