I've had struggles with bullying, some teachers and counselors being dismissive, or rude, but all in all I believe I've made good connections here & had a really good education. Many of my teachers are people I hope to keep in contact with post graduation, and they always listen to make new classes of interest.

Best parts of my experience would be the numerous student clubs that are offered at Aragon and the ideology that these clubs are run by the students for the students rather than having an adult supervisor handling everything. One thing that I would like to see change is being more open about having teacher recommendation letters because the school would be better if it had a guideline for when to ask for recommendation.

After transferring to Aragon High School in my junior year, I was welcomed by a spirited and lively school. Looking back, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

The staff are very unsupportive, particularly the academic counselors. They see the students as numbers and can be a little racially...

Best high school in San Mateo. Great teachers. They send kids to Harvard, Stanford and many to UC top colleges. This is why the Aragon/Baywood area is so desirable. Walking distance to elementary, middle and high schools!
2/18/2022
This is the only school in the district that does not create a 4 year plan with the counselor and student. To make things worse, they have a lot of unwritten policies (like no 2 science and math courses in a year). As counselors do not meet with students 1:1 for course planning and creating the 4 ye...

It's a fantastic school and why we moved to San Mateo. Our kid graduated and went to a top-10 college. Can't say enough good but you have to instill some self-motivation as the AP homework can be tough!
