Atherton High School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2008-04-07 “My child has attended Atherton for 3 years. It is tough to get extra help from the teachers and to get an IEP in place. Communication is not good at this school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-09-09 “My child is in the IB program at Atherton. The curriculum is as taxing as any college course I have ever taken, at least at the graduate school level. The teachers are engaged and enlightning, even entertaining. I am thrilled to have the level of public education this school can offer, especially competing with 2000+ schools worldwide. Brava Atherton, Brava!” Posted By: student Quality Score: 3 2005-12-12 “Atherton is an 'ok.' The diversty and people at Atherton are great, but it doesn't have a strong academic program. In the sciences, Atherton lacks great teachers who seem interested in students. Although it has the International Bacalaurette program, it fails to truly stimulate the minds of students. I believe the real problem exists with in the lackadasical behavior of teachers in not really caring about teaching (Of course there are exceptions such as an excellent Freshman english and ToK teacher, as well as a very remarkable english teacher).If you want a school to go to to have fun, come here. But if you wish to find a school in which you will be challenged academically, this is not it for you.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2004-05-02 “Atherton High School is a like a big family. It is a relatively small high school and almost everyone participates in an extracurricular activity and is involved. Being an International Studies, an International Baccalaureate and a great ESL program, Atherton is extremely diverse. There is a large population of hispanic students, mainly Cuban, a large population of Bosnian students, as well as students from Iraq, Iran, China, Korea, and just about anywhere else you can think of. THis diversity really gives the students a real awareness of the world around them and acceptance of other cultures and traditions. The International Baccalaureateprogram is a vary inteanse and rigorous academic program with and international curriculum. It really challenges students to go above and beyond regular high school curriculum. Comparable to Advanced Placement the students must take a test to pass the class and if they do, the class is counted toward college.”
