During my recent four years at Menlo-Atherton High School it gifted a lot of students, like myself, that came from low-income households an opportunity. Menlo-Atherton also gave a lot back to the community and helped people that were struggling during the Pandemic.

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".

Menlo-Atherton High School offers a lot of opportunities and academic classes. There are lots of electives to choose from, and it offers many sports. There is something for everyone at M-A. I like that there is a diverse student body.

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