Lead elementary has wonderful principal, teachers and staff! I've appreciated their helping with my Son's 504.All staff genuinely cares for every student.The schools motto is Kind, respectful, responsible and safe.As a parent and PTA member I am honored to have my children attend this school.

Absolute gem of a school. Every teacher we've had has been phenomenal. Most have been with NSM for years. I appreciate how there is a strong focus on developing a lifelong love of learning and reading. Students get PE every day, music classes and outdoor gardening time. Lovely community feel.

To be very honest, this was probably the worst experience in my life. I’m a current college student looking back on my high school experience making this realization. The staff are very unsupportive, particularly the academic counselors. They see the students as numbers and can be a little racially biased. My counselor in particular constantly mixed me up with other students and overlooked my achievements simply because I was Asian. The teachers are very harsh and don’t provide enough support to each individual student. The students can be very comparative and toxic with one another, with constant rumors going around. It was common for people to run out of their classrooms crying while going on a bathroom break. The peer pressure for academics was too much and there were nearly zero mental health resources. Overall, my experience was a 2/5. If I were to repeat my high school experience I would choose San mateo high school. Aragon is a breeding ground for poor mental health.
