The best parts of my experience would have to be the teachers. Each teacher I've had is invested in teaching and makes teaching interesting either through topic or their own personality. My worst parts would probably be the isolation that comes from only enrolling boys as it leads to a more controlled student body opinion. I'd like to see changed the consistency of quality in school lunches with the amount of money students pay.

While the school has great programs I give a 1-star rating because I believe they should admit young women--as one of the best high schools in the bay area I think they are now obligated to admit young women. While I understand the merits of single-sex education it doesn't seem very 'modern', though...
