Half Moon Bay High School Reviews
Rating 3.3 out of 5 164 reviews
I like the schools overall spirit into pushing students to their goals and giving them resources to help them get there. One thing they can change is managing meetings with counselors a little better because when a student makes a meeting, it takes a little while for a counselor to meet with the student
My experience with Half Moon Bay high school has been average at best. If I could change anything, it would be the diversity. The school is primarily made up of caucasians and hispanics.
Small school. The campus is old and the theatre is like an elementary school, in the auditorium. Not a great option for the arts/theatre/dance.
