Wilcox High School

Hands down, the best high school in Santa Clara.
ACADEMICS — The school has been accredited for many years now and offers many AP classes, including: European & US History, Economics, English, Biology, Spanish, Statistics, Calculus, etc. Great group of teachers and staff too.
SPORTS & SPIRIT TEAMS — We’ve got all the traditional high school sports you can think of from water polo to basketball to tennis. If your child wants to play football or join a spirit team (cheer, dance, or the Chargettes dance/​drill team), then they should really go here.
SPIRIT — The Homecoming Week and Fantastics (Battle of the Classes) celebrations are fantastic. For the last few years there has also been a Black & Blue Olympics, hosted by the city’s teen center, for both high schools in Santa Clara.
EXTRACURRICULARS — Lots. There are multicultural clubs, service clubs, an ungarbage crew (recycling), Link Crew (orientation leaders), colorguard and band, theatre, and more. We also boast a Sony Star Class Program.
FACILITIES — Well they are really giving the school a facelift in recent years, although before I loved the way the classrooms and gyms looked bc that’s what I grew up seeing when I visited. But can’t complain about spankin’ new facilities or a very nice theater.
P. S. Class of 2009! :)

Best high school around! Looks like a prison, but that’s just because it confines all the fun inside! All the newly renovated buildings look great. There are some amazing teachers there too. Some I will never forget!

We had a basketball tournament there and the gyms worked out great. The small gym was also good size to accommodate us with bleacher and scoreboard. The main gym had a perfect counter with small kitchenette for us to run an awesome concession. The staff was super nice «CRAY» (LOL) which made the tournament a success!

Going to the records department to get my husband’s transcript felt like something out of a bad comedy. The lady helping us was the stereotypical mean lady who only wants out of the public school system. I felt strangely uncomfortable the entire time I was there…

I graduated from this school in 2008 and now my niece goes there. I’m always calling the front desk to check up on her and I’ve noticed their staff is VERY rude! Including Ms. Eastburn! They always have some smart remark or snotty attitude. It doesn’t make me feel comfortable knowing that they treat me like this, because from what my niece tells me they treat her the same way. Not only that but when I went there one of the teachers (Mr.Slate) was fired for having sexual intercourse with one of the students. I now hear that the same situation has occured with a different teacher. This school is bloody terrible and I would never recommend it to anyone!
Here is the link to the page of the special education teacher that molested the student:

Came here to watch a basketball tournament so I can only review the big gym and small gym. Both of which are super nice. I had to work the scoreboard and I loved their VERY easy to use system.
Idk about you, but the small gym at my high school did not have bleachers or a scoreboard!
Location is also easy to find… you can get there from like 3 different exits. Hard to get lost.

class of 06! ;)
