GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Capuchino has a very strong community, and I can confidently say all who attend are proud to be a mustang. Our school offers IB classes instead of AP classes, which is strange to get used to as AP is the norm everywhere else, but I feel enriched and very well educated in all of my classes.

My experience and Capuchino has been mainly a good one, as I have enjoyed things like the clubs and sports and have enjoyed the experience with people around me. I also have enjoyed the staff as they are friendly and the principal is also a great person as he lets us play basketball during lunch even though they had to be closed before. The only bad parts are some teachers I did not have a good experience with but other than a few things here and there it is mainly a good experience all round during my time at Capuchino

I had a very memorable experience at Capuchino High School. Although we did not get to be on campus for 2 years of my high school due to covid, what time i did have there was a wonderfull experience. Lots of activities and clubs to keep us involved.

Compared to the other schools within the San Mateo Unified School District, this school offers a lot less classes and the learning is far behind. The IB diploma is ridiculous, most prefer AP classes.
