Los Alisos Middle School serves as a learning community where students are challenged and are engaged in rigorous academics through a standards-based curriculum. We have a strong team of dedicated individuals who provide a welcoming environment where the top priorities are academic achievement and a safe and nurturing school. Our school program is designed to assist adolescents in making successful transitions from elementary to middle school, and one that prepares them for the challenges of high school and beyond.
Our API is upward bound 786, growing 19 points this year! We plan our curriculum, instruction, assessments, and staff development to meet the needs of all our students. We hold both staff and students accountable for their work, as we provide instruction that meet or exceed State standards.
We are proud to include AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) as part of our school program. AVID is a college-readiness system designed to increase the number of students who enroll in four-year colleges.
Los Alisos starts a Math, Science, and Technology Magnet for the 2011-12 school year. Our magnet program is geared to motivate students to study STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) in partnership with Project Lead The Way (PLTW).
Intervention opportunities are offered to all students who need extra support in order to achieve academic proficiency. Students can also participate in our athletic teams: track and field, cross-country, volleyball,football, soccer, basketball, softball and cheerleading. Students are also offered a variety of enrichment activities that include: Academic Pentathlon, Band, Leadership/ASB, Science Camp and GATE opportunities.
We invite parents to become involved at Los Alisos by volunteering, joining parent groups such as, PTSA, SDMC and ELAC.

Our school community operates on the belief that all students can achieve!Remember, “College is not a dream. It is a Plan”
