I went to Redwood High and now go to Stanford. Redwood was the best school I could ever imagine going to. I had a great time and learned a lot. The community was fantastic in every respect. I would like to point out Redwood is grades 9-12 not 8-12, as is listed.

Redwood is great. The teachers are encouraging, and it's easy to make friends. You get a lot of attention when needed, and the large number of students is not an issue for me. The extracurricular activities are amazing; there are a lot of choices, and there is definitely something for everyone. The other

I feel compelled to share with other parents considering Redwood as an option for their child, that it has been a fantastic decision for my family. The personal attention that my son recieves is incredible taking into consideration the size of the school. I myself have undergone quite prestigious academics,

Although I was hesitant to send my child to such a large school, I feel it to be completly benificial to him. The teachers never let Zack fall behid, and keep me up to date with his problem areas. He is happier than ever, and from my eyes, is also recieving an amazing education that will take him far in life. I urge you all to look at Redwood High School as an option for you child. Read less

I am a Redwood graduate and potential furture Redwood parent. My own experience at Redwood was great despite the huge enrollment (2,600 students at the time), but mainly this was because I found my niche early.

Redwood High School is in the top tier of public high schools in California and arguably the best high school in Marin.

The administrative staff is, unfortunately, mediocre in its ability to creatively manage the needs of the students, faculty and community, but they may be no worse than most public schools. I was advised that Redwood has everything a student needs to be successful, but it is up to you (and your student) to find it on your own. I think this is true. For a good student to achieve their potential, their family must be proactive. Read less
