I Love the work, discipline, but especially the Activities at Menlo Atherton. I have a child going to Santa Cruz University and everything is moving great. Great work!

The Advanced Placement courses offered at M-A are top of the line and some of the best in the area. However, the lower level classes tend to be too densely populated, with less effort from the students. M-A is very diverse, as it mixes students from very poor areas (East Palo Alto), and very rich areas (Atherton, Menlo Park, etc.) The athletics programs are generally strong, and a variety of elective classes are offered and well taught.

Menlo-Atherton is a diverse and very academically challenging school located in Atherton. It draws students from very high performing middle schools in Menlo Park, Portola Valley and Woodside. Every year the school sends many kids to the Ivy League, Stanford and UC schools and it has one of the largest selection of AP classes in the bay area. It also works hard to educate kids from East Palo Alto, East Menlo Park and Redwood City who have very different needs. 94% of seniors go off to 4 or 2 year colleges. They have a wonderful new principal and a great administration, guidance office, and very dedicated hardworking teachers.

Unfortunately, I am going to have to disagree with the other reviewers. My daughter is a Junior at M-A and has had three bad teachers during her three years. Overall, I think M-A is average overall and needs improvement.
