The school is very crowded and huge and some of the teachers are very lazy, but I switched out of there classes and it's been good so far. And If u don't like how big the school is then just join ICL because all of there classes are In the 200's and u can whatever elective u want. And the sports programs are great. I'm in forensics and our team is one of the best in the world/country. There are a lot of clubs. And a lot of people u can make friends with.

I am a former student from James Logan High School. If nothing changes after my class year(2019), I swear this school will be one of the worst in the county soon. Honestly, the last 2 years at this school have been hell. The superintendents of the district fail to accommodate students in proper food, sanitation, and funding for education. The classrooms are littered with cockroaches which hide away in the morning within nooks and cracks within the rooms(which are conveniently hidden by furniture), half the bathrooms do not have soap, the toilets and stalls are scratched and marked with permanent

I have study hard when I enrolled in high school because I learn each and every lesson. I also made good friends that I met during one of my courses. When I started in high school, I prepare my school supplies, and make sure they are well organized. After I graduated in high school, I have started my college years at Chabot to study hard, and even find a job when needed.

This high school has the worst administrative staff. My brother went to his counselor Renee Dutra to seek advise about joining the United States Air Force and received zero help! In face, he was completely discouraged. Mrs. Dutra questioned why he wanted to join. She discouraged him, and advised him that the military would "rot his mind." She made it seem as if it is the worst idea in the world.
I completely respect Mrs. Dutra's opinion, however I wanted to speak to the Principal which I called several times. I never received a call back. No message, no letter, no email. I left

Okay, super weird that you can leave reviews for your high school... But I'm gonna do it anyways.
It's a big school, with a big campus, with a lot of students from a number of backgrounds. The nice thing is, there is no pressure to succeed on this campus -- students do what they want to do and engage with classes that interest them. This can be kind of bad for kids that don't have a desire to be successful academically, but it is great for the academically-minded student that wants to explore all of his or her options.
There are great extracurricular

Awful is the only word to describe it. Staff as rude as students. I was getting straight A's here thinking I was intelligent, but when I moved to a new school in a high class community, I was getting straight F's. No one is getting a real education here. the emphasis is too heavy on sports and preforming arts and not so much on actual education like reading writing math and science.

It's pretty obvious that most of the people that are giving Logan bad reviews DIDN'T EVEN GO HERE. Must I say, I am a proud Logan alumni. JLHS offers many extra curricular activities for students such as sports, clubs, leadership, color guard, band, debate team, art & etc.. Yes this school has around 4,000 students but the staff won't give up on these teens. It can get busy and hectic in the office but things will always get taken care of. By the way, what high school hasn't had any fights, juveniles or drop outs? Plus, why would that even matter? Wouldn't you want

This might be the best high school ever in HISTORY.
I have the pleasure of being a PROUD Alumni of the illustrious, James Logan High School. this school by far taught me so much besides academics.
This school exposes students to so many cultures and backgrounds, making you aware and open-minded about differences in cultures.
The athletic program here has always been outstanding. The coaches are always there to guide you and mentor you into being the best you can be both athletically and academically.
I do not know anyone who went here and isn't proud of this school.
Because Logan is the ONLY

As a parent of two high school students, I really like this school. It's not perfect by all means but they offer more than other high schools do. Well, they have over 4k students, @ 1k per class and are well funded as its the only high school in the city and in between two big cities!! They are near a police station and library across the school. The HE campus is like a college and I even get lost. 0_o. The kids may think differently about the school but this school has everything. They have the usual nerds, druggies and trouble makers but what school doesn't have them?!

I didn't go to school here, but my long-time friend had invited me to a mini-concert being held here in the cafeteria. I said sure why not and decided to go, since I hadn't seen her in a really long time. I gotta say, it was pretty difficult to find the cafeteria. They don't have any direction signs as far as I could see, and we had to ask a teacher that works there to lead us to the cafeteria. And that was when it was daylight out... When the concert was over and we were getting ready to leave, it was night time and we had an even harder time getting back to our car because we couldn

Such an awesome time here at Logan! (c/o 2013)
I definitely enjoyed every minute here. I entered in beginning of freshmen year (coming from a private school) and quickly made friends. Everyone was so inviting during the whole four years and I am so glad I took advantage of all the opportunities and help Logan offered. (Thanks Ms. Hart and HOUSE 3 staff [esp. Ms. Montes!] for all the help for college).
The academics and extra-curriculars are superb! The AP Curriculum is spot-on. Logan offered SO MUCH AP classes that I couldn't pass up; these were classes that I actually loved! (AP Physics

Class of 2009!!!
I went here all 4 years and had an amazing high school career.
TIP#1: I hope no one takes this the wrong way, but it's a lot less competitive if you attend Logan, compared to like Mission San Jose and other schools nearby.
I only took like 4 or so AP classes, some honors, did around 200 community service hours, had extracurricular activities, and average SAT and ACT scores, but I was able to get into UC Davis. If I attended high school anywhere else, I don't think I would've stood a chance.
