Amazing setting for children to learn. It's really a privilege for children to attend this school as the teachers and facilities are first rate for a public school. The Highschool is a point of pride in the community.

This school appears to be great academically, however, there seems to be a lack of sensitivity towards students of less represented cultures. My student reported constant use of culturally disparaging terms by other students, as well as a lack of sensitivity by teachers in the class room regarding disrespectful cultural terms and stereotypes. I want to love this school, however I feel little support and I am thinking of moving my student to a different school.

Burlingame High School was a kind and welcoming environment with a variety of different students and staff. The school had a wide selection of courses including advanced classes and extracurricular courses such as music and world language.

Horrible 100% horrible. Just because everyone at this school is rich you would think they could afford some teachers that could actually teach.

Good school in general. As a freshman, i especially like the diversity of students within this school. The teachers are great!

My kid is a freshman at BHS. Advanced classes especially Math and English are terrific. Would rate 80% of his/her teachers A+. Good environment - the freshman class has its cliques but nothing too obnoxious. School spirit is high across the grades. Hear a bit about some "over enthusiastic" parties etc - but there are plenty of kids who are just having a regular good time. All in all - so far, just terrific!
