As a current Menlo parent, I'm incredibly grateful for the quality of the teaching faculty. They are warm, dedicated, intelligent, and vibrant; however, I give the school only 3 stars, because of the quality of the administration. They do not respond to parent and student concerns in a respectful way. As a parent on financial aid, a Menlo administrator has made me feel bad about the lack of privilege that I am able to provide my children on multiple occasions. When I pointed this out, there was no desire to understand or apologize. In light of their current stated desire to work on issues of equity and inclusion, their behavior is fairly sad.
Menlo is a terrific school. Our son has thrived there and grown tremendously as a person and student over the past two years. He has transformed from someone who is shy into a confident leader, self-advocate, and amazing citizen of his class. We have been especially impressed with the leadership, which has led the school through the pandemic better than any school leadership I have heard about in the Bay Area. The leadership has also placed a strong emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion over the past few years, and we could not agree more with the principles they are instilling in the students at Menlo.
After spending four years at Menlo School, I've created great relationships with both students and teachers. Teachers are extremely helpful and supportive to their students, especially to those involved in the sports and arts. As a student at Menlo, I always felt supported throughout my high school career because my teachers were always there for me. When it came to my season, my teachers were always wanting to help so that I could balance both my academics and sports. Along with other staff members, they were also supportive throughout my high school career, they were always checking up on how I'm doing outside of school. The student body at Menlo is very welcoming. The sports team at Menlo allows for both under and upperclassmen to mix and get to know each other. Menlo students are very energetic and full of spirit when it comes to spirit weeks and other school spirit competitions. Though every year, you can expect that every year the seniors win every competition. I loved Menlo!!!!
