"I currently attend JLHS and I'd have to say that it is an excellent school. The school has so many classes to offer students that most high schools in the San Francisco Bay Area don't have. They have great sports teams and if you have a child looking for a scholarship for a sport in college James Logan is one of the few schools that get's scouts from Universities. There are many clubs to join, many electives, and ROP classes that give you experience to prepare you for the classes you will take to gain the career you want to achieve. The teachers here are ones that will do what they can to help the students so long as the students show that they are willing to improve their grades or understandings on the subject. There is a program that runs through Freshman and Sophomore called ICL that has selected classes that can give your students a helping hand into getting a scholarship to a CSU or UC. There is a variety of food to eat for lunch and fit for your nutritional needs. For safety reasons they have a police officer on duty and multiple security guards to make sure students aren't cutting or doing drugs.I promise you that there is not a better school with all that JLHS has to offer"

"The school is a big disappointment. Me and my husband are always in the office to check on our two students grades and make sure they are on track. We request meetings with the counselors and they are never available to meet and when they do meet with us they don t know who our children are and are not very organized. The school is unable to handle the number of children attending the class sizes are 40+ students per class the teachers and students are unhappy about that. My children play sports and the sports programs use to be better the coaches are not very good and don t put in quality time and effort with the kids. The principle is new and doesn t seem like she is off to a good start of being able to handle a school of this size, she needs to surround herself with a better and more dedicated staff in order to turn this school around. I am seriously thinking of putting my kids in another school next year."

"I am a sophomore in Logan as of now. My honest opinion of James Logan is that the education is... Adequate. They do focus on extracurricular activities more than education. I just dislike how students take education for granted and decide that getting a 2.0 is satisfactory. Logan should enforce education. Also they should really stop accepting students from Oakland, it's too far of a commute and expanding Logan's population dramatically. As a effect, students don't get as much attention as they should because of large classroom sizes."

"I am a freshman at Logan this year. Logan has alot to offer. We have excellent sports teams, best forinsics team, best band and colorguard, and a great new drama department opening in december. Although I personally don't like most of the students because of their attitudes towards school, the ones who do care are very succesful at Logan. I would reccomend if you decide to enroll your child into Logan that you get them involved in some type of extra curriculer activity, it helps them get accustumed and meet new people faster. It also keeps me focused by doing sports."
