I love atherton simply because we're such a diverse school, and you get to know each and everyone's story one day at a time, and what they've been through. It's just all around a great school.

I am a student here and love it.There are so many different types of people, which makes the school diverse. I guess I like the 'weirdness' of it though. It isn't a clique-filled school. Everyone pretty much talks to and gets along everyone. The atmosphere is really laid back and fun. When it comes to academics though, I have always felt challenged. The honors classes here are comparable to the comprehensive level (which isn't offered at Atherton) courses at other highschools. I have never felt bored or like I wasn't being challenged in the advanced, ap, and ib classes. The ap and ib program gives students the chance to earn college credit which was a plus for me in choosing this school. Although our football team is nothing to brag about, there are tons of other sports and academic clubs offered. I highly recommend this school!
