Los Gatos, California, like Monte Sereno, Saratoga, Almaden Valley, Cupertino and Los Altos, is an area which is well reputed within Silicon Valley (the San Jose area) for its great schools, low crime, and quality of life.
People flock to Cupertino, Saratoga, Palo Alto, and a few other areas for the high scoring schools. But at the same time, other families feel that those areas are "pressure cookers" or "unbalanced" so look for schools with a great education but not quite so much pressure.
Enter Los Gatos.
It's often thought that people pay the high price tags mostly because of the schools here in Los Gatos. But there are many other excellent attributes in The Town: community involvement, scenic beauty, great parks, a vibrant downtown, and more.
What is surprising is to learn that Money Magazine recently stated that 1/3 of the children in the town of Los Gatos attend private schools rather than the highly acclaimed public schools. I wrote about this on my Live in Los Gatos blog, with comparisons to other places too. For more information, please read that post:
