6/27/2025
I absolutely love Menlo school as a sports player, academic, and social person. Menlo is by far one of the best private schools in the area with a plentiful amount of resources, and a wide variety of classes for all students. Menlo's teachers are also great in the sense that they all really care about their students in and outside of the classroom. Menlo's inclusive spirit is unmatched and I could not ask for a better school.

Menlo School provides such a variety of opportunities that students can use to develop their own academic and social skills, as well as develop themselves as people. Menlo is unique in that it really simulates the freedom of a university experience as it has no bell and you can choose your own pathway through the years (humanities/stem/arts etc.).

Academics and teachers are generally great. Food isn't bad. The student quality, I feel, has gotten worse over the years. Lots of cliques and fake people. They aren't afraid to talk poorly about you with others right in front of you.

We have been a longtime family at Menlo School spanning many, many years with multiple kids and this year (2022) is the first year where it's obvious the school caliber has dropped to a low that's far below the standards of great education - public or private. While bias exists in any review and it'...

I am currently a student at Menlo and while there are a lot of great things about this school like some of the teachers, classes, and unique experience, it all gets watered down by a huge layer of elitism, passive-aggressiveness, and lack of a student-administration relationship. Menlo has always be...

Going to Menlo was the worst decision that I have made up to this point in my young life. At least 80% of the incoming freshmen are bound for Ivy League or similar schools before they get to Menlo. If every Menlo student attended public school, the majority of them would be able to get into Ivys, St...
