I am half American and half Brazilian; I came to Burlingame High School knowing basic English and I left speaking fluently. BHS does not have a dELD program like the one in San Mateo High School, but they have an amazing group of positive and empathetic teachers and staff that pushes you to become your best self and overcome your barriers. The school offers a lot of resources for you to succeed, from wellness counselors to tutors, and also access to a library and online database. They offer everything you need, now it is your choice to take it!
Overall I really enjoyed my time at BHS. Great school spirit and athletics. I was able to excel in sports, math and art.
I would’ve liked to have taken more computer classes, which they didn’t offer when I was there 2002-2006. But I’m sure they have them now. If not, they need to get more young adults excited about coding!

I really liked Burlingame High School because of its strong academics that it offers. I think the teachers are also excellent because they really helped me motivate to reach my goals. I am in the robotics club but I think the school offers a lot of clubs too since there re over 50+ clubs at BHS. I think this school helps us enrich our future beyond college. This school has an AVID class, which helps us get ready for college by practicing the skills required for college. The food is not good at all since it's not that fresh and the food tastes horrific. I'm in the BHS Swim Team and the Water Polo team but the school offers a lot more sports than that. The school also have a lot of diversity since our school has all types of backgrounds in it. Overall, I think that this is an excellent school to attend because of it's academics and teachers.
