Aragon High School was a home to me where I formed some of my closest bonds between my peers and my teachers. There are teachers that truly care about your success and work alongside you to propel you to be the best you can be.

I like how welcoming my school is. There's everything for everyone, there's rallies, etc. However since I'm a student-athlete I hardly have time to do homework so I always end turning in stuff late. I try my best to get stuff done in class so that I don't have to do it at home. It's gets hard to catch up on assignments but my teachers are flexible so I don't stress too much. Overall I learned a lot my time management and life balance.

I have only been at Aragon for junior and senior years, so my experiences are limited. Positive: 6/8 good teachers junior year, 4/5 good teachers senior year, good AP test preparation. Negative: two pairs of airpods have been stolen off my desk in class, food is not great but not terrible.

The staff are very unsupportive, particularly the academic counselors. They see the students as numbers and can be a little racially...

Best high school in San Mateo. Great teachers. They send kids to Harvard, Stanford and many to UC top colleges. This is why the Aragon/Baywood area is so desirable. Walking distance to elementary, middle and high schools!
2/18/2022
This is the only school in the district that does not create a 4 year plan with the counselor and student. To make things worse, they have a lot of unwritten policies (like no 2 science and math courses in a year). As counselors do not meet with students 1:1 for course planning and creating the 4 ye...

It's a fantastic school and why we moved to San Mateo. Our kid graduated and went to a top-10 college. Can't say enough good but you have to instill some self-motivation as the AP homework can be tough!
