Burlingame High School

This school appears to be great academically, however, there seems to be a lack of sensitivity towards students of less represented cultures. My student reported constant use of culturally disparaging terms by other students, as well as a lack of sensitivity by teachers in the class room regarding disrespectful cultural terms and stereotypes. I want to love this school, however I feel little support and I am thinking of moving my student to a different school.

Excellent academics. Excellent sportsmanship athlletics. Excellent college prep.

Extraordinary teachers provide college-level learning. Incredibly supportive community of kids, parents and teachers. I can't imagine a better high school experience.

I've had 2 children at this school and academically I'd rate it pretty well. Teachers conferences are 10 min and rushed. Office staff (other than the principal) are very warm and welcoming and really try to help with small requests like lost and found etc. or when your child is ill etc. They are very friendly which is impressive given the number of students at BIS.
