A lot of bullies at this school the students and Staff to the point of my young child tried to take his life. My child got stabbed on the bus by another student with a mechanical pencil and nothing was done. Then got bullied in gym by another student as the student pushed him down and he stuck up for himself and he got suspended for self defense. One of the teachers kept blaming him for doing things when he was in kindergarten like chewing on crayons that she had bought him a dog chew toy and tied it around his neck. He would always come home with marks on his body. He was treated awful at Atherton schools.

What a wonderful school!! It is a warm, a family-focused environment and I know my children are well taken care of when they are there. The teachers go above and beyond and the principal is always so caring . I would recommend this school to anyone.

Both of my sons went to Atherton Middle School. It was and is a school that encouraged all kids to be their best and do their best. I feel my kids learned many positive things there, and that it was the best environment for them.

The teachers at Atherton are the reason my kids go to school here! Many people do not realize how much a teacher sacrifices to help the kids and the extra time taken away from his/her own family to give the students the best opportunity to learn and to grow.

AMS is a great school! It has small class sizes so the kids get one on one time with the teachers to learn! The staff is always finding new ways to help the students learn and grow. I went to Van Y, AMS, & AHS and I would highly recommend Atherton Schools to anyone!

My parents attended Atherton and all of my children and nieces and nephews attend Atherton. By keeping the class sizes small it allows more one on one with the students. Smaller schools have a more family/hometown feel to them and Atherton is no exception. I love that although it is small the teachers are highly motivated and always use innovative ideas to teach the students. At Atherton, the teachers and staff truly care about the students and work with the parent and student to ensure student success.

I attended Atherton Middle School. The class sizes were small and the teachers were awesome. I was a member of the band from the 5th grade all the way until my junior year of highschool. That school provided me with all the tools to do great in high school. Atherton High School did an awesome job at preparing us for college and life.
