Mercy Burlingame has been a good experience over the past 4 years. There has always been help for those who went and asked for it, you just have to advocate for yourself so that they can help you. The most of the teachers are good at meeting the students where they are at and have the ability to explain each topic in a different way if you did not grasp it completely the first time. There is a new food service this year which is not that amazing, especially compared to what there used to be, but there are still days when it is really good.
