excellent school where students are genuinely cared for. Its the only schools in Bay Area which has good diversity , low student to teacher ratio and excellent academics as well as other activities.

This school is really good. I think I'm learning a lot. If you go there, you just need to find the right group of friends, and it's going to be great. Sometimes there is a lot of homework in history though.

My daughter still says that Castilleja was best choice we could have made. She was a smart but shy girl with a quirky sense of humor and a deep c...

This school is solid if you're already white, rich, and pretty much already set to go in adulthood and just need a golden diploma to put on the mantle to make grandma and grandpa proud. If you're not, avoid it at all costs. The admin's not going to look out for you, and the student body will eat you...
