Menlo School provides such a variety of opportunities that students can use to develop their own academic and social skills, as well as develop themselves as people. Menlo is unique in that it really simulates the freedom of a university experience as it has no bell and you can choose your own pathway through the years (humanities/stem/arts etc.).

I am a former parent and still connected to a few faculty at the school. Caveat emptor — the administration (its greatest liability) is making major changes to the academic rigor of Menlo. They have or will phase out ALL AP classes — administration is informing teachers what and how they will teach. This all seems driven by some influential parents wanting their children to have an easy conduit to a good college. Many faculty have left this school because of these changes. We would make a different school choice today given these changes and I tell friends and colleagues this when asked.

Beautiful school. I'm a transfer student and was anxious about going to a new school but, I'm so glad I took that chance and went for it. Found my new home.

We have been a longtime family at Menlo School spanning many, many years with multiple kids and this year (2022) is the first year where it's obvious the school caliber has dropped to a low that's far below the standards of great education - public or private. While bias exists in any review and it'...

I am currently a student at Menlo and while there are a lot of great things about this school like some of the teachers, classes, and unique experience, it all gets watered down by a huge layer of elitism, passive-aggressiveness, and lack of a student-administration relationship. Menlo has always be...

Going to Menlo was the worst decision that I have made up to this point in my young life. At least 80% of the incoming freshmen are bound for Ivy League or similar schools before they get to Menlo. If every Menlo student attended public school, the majority of them would be able to get into Ivys, St...
