Senior: My experience here at San Rafael high school was that it is a good school, with so much help that they offer you and always making sure you doing good in your classes. This school likes to see there students succeed and not fail. They want all their students to graduate going into a 2 -4 year institution school. the help that they have given me is incredible making sure all my college applications are in, submitting much stuff so we can succeed in the future. They also make sure all teenagers from their school are good with mental health, making them feel included, and don't discriminate against others.... Read 34 reviews

Senior: I love how friendly the majority of staff and teachers are. Most are very understanding and try communicating with the students. One thing that I think needs to be worked on is allowing students to have input on senior projects. This year we experienced a very heavy shift in our academics because of covid. Many of us students had to get jobs to help our families and had to start taking care of siblings. On top of all that we have scholarships and college things to do. Making it harder to work on a 50 hour project for senior year. Many also were left without resources or help. A teacher advocated for changes based on student input but were put down and scrutinized. This is very unprofessional. The fact that the school doesn't even bother having a survey or try communicating with students and forcing students to "just do it" when covid restrictions were still around is absurd. Not only that but you need money to do the senior project. Also we were not given time in class to do it.... Read 32 reviews

Middle School Student: I appreciate the focus on social emotional readiness in the early years. There is also a strong emphasis on art and creating that strongly benefits development. Structured play also serves as a strong foundation. Academics are the focus in later years and have improved to adequately prepare kids for higher education.... Read 3 reviews
