Very diverse school, great performing arts programs. In terms of teachers and faculty, very good and also there are many classes for people who are considered to be "behind".
10/3/2024
I think that it generally is a good experience especially with sports. Sports has really helped me connect with people at the school and it really brings everyone together. The academics are relatively good the first two years but then after it gets more challenging. The teachers are hit or miss. Some teachers are really nice, fun and passionate about what they teach but others seem to not care or barely teach at all.

Really loved this school. I didn't realize how good I had it until I moved away from the Bay Area and heard all the horror stories about other schools. Every teacher I had cared immensely and there's a few I keep up with to this day. They're invested and they're good people.

A small percentage of bad apples at the school consume a disproportionate amount of resources, perpetrate crimes and generally make life miserable for administrators, f...

Students are just a number, they are required to self-advocate wh...

M-A is an impressive place, especially given the extreme socioeconomic diversity and varying high school readiness of its student body. The curriculum provides for courses ranging from remedial to AP and beyond. There are extensive resources for academic help (ranging from office hours to after scho...

Poor - I had two sons and one daughter attend this school. Of my 3 children, only 1 graduated from here. One son was harassed by these "Eastside kids" and was never safe at school. We had to pull him out and put him in a private school. My daughter was also assaulted in a locker room during volleyba...
