San Marino High School Reviews
Rating 3.99 out of 5 280 reviews
The thing I love most about this school is the sense of community. We really are a small town and parents, students, and staff are all vital parts of making sure the school is excellent! We have over 20 sports, a thriving visual and performing arts program, two strong CTE pathways in business and media arts, as well as a brand new Medical Arts Academy in partnership with Pasadena City Colleges Dual Enrollment program of which we offer over 7 courses. We offer over 30 clubs and are adding new ones every year. Our teaching staff are second to none and offer a variety of engaging and creative activities and challenging lessons to prepare students for their post-secondary life which includes over 90% of students matriculating to a four-year university.
I have a sophomore in college and two sophomores at San Marino High School. The school does an excellent job with writing, mathematics, science and college readiness. The music, drama, and robotics programs are off the charts. The school is large enough to have many teams, but small enough that lots of kids can try high school sports. The administration used to be rigid in certain areas, but the combination of COVID and a dynamic principal in the last few years have resulted in a new level of responsiveness. There is a great combination of exciting new initiatives and course pathways combined with long-lived traditions like the homecoming parade and the incredible community supported grad night for seniors. The student government is very engaged and has created many fun spirit activities at the school. All in all, I highly recommend this nurturing environment.
My kids have thrived in SMUSD schools. Most importantly, the caliber of their peers and classmates positively contribute to my children' attitude and enthusiasm for learning. The community's collective focus is aligned to excellence. The people and schools in SMUSD are true gems in California!
