James Lick Middle School
james lick is a great school for my child. we came from a private school k-5th grade. by the time 5th grade was ending, we knew that she wasn't advancing or eager to go to school. since the 6th grade, we've seen improvment (4.0) and addtional help with the AVID PRPOGRAM AND 1ST GRADUATE, helping her to stay focus and prepare not just for high school but college as well. also, great P.E. and music dept. if i had known more about public schools, my older child might have done better.
