My daughter is a freshman this year. I debated on the school because of the many private schools in the Bay Area, but we made the right choice! Lick is amazing!! Challenging academics, inclusive mentality and enough diversity to reflect our community (socio-economic and ethnic). The kids are challenged to step up and be future leaders and care about their community. There is a sense of independence and empowerment instilled in the kids. I cant say anything negative about the place. My kid loves it and so do I. Outstanding place to go to school... They also have a great "café" with a chef, great

Lick is the high school in the state, has an amazing blend of academics, shop skills, school spirit, and "community concern"... "Head, Heart, and Hands" is one of its mottos. The other: "A Private School with a Public Purpose"..
Its students accomplish amazing things, in the arts, business, the sciences, all the while "Never Majoring" in "My Wallet First". A Google search is the proof, if you go to the pictures and "current activities"..
I am a parent of a member of the Class of 1999, and we still miss the place!.
