I liked Acalanes. I think that the program prepared me well for college, there could have been AP Physics C offered.

It's a great school with mostly dedicated staff and lots of activities/opportunities. Diversity is not great but expected from predominately white neighborhood.

Acalanes High School is a good school. The teachers and staff are usually happy and teach well. The population at Acalanes isn't very diverse, but there are still very different people. Even though Acalanes is mostly focused on Academics, it is also very involved in sports, art, and music.
