We have had two children graduate from Atherton, both in the International Baccalaureate program. The IB curriculum is rich, deep and diverse AND is respected by colleges and universities around the world. Our youngest daughter was a student during the pandemic, graduating in 2021. We were awed by the dedication of the entire Atherton staff--from teachers to counselors to administrators, in supporting students through the pandemic and helping them to overcome terrible circumstances to succeed. Both of our Atherton graduates went on to top private universities on the East coast. Their IB diplomas and experiences at Atherton were key in their admissions.

I loved my time at bloom and i think it is an amazing school

I went to this school for 6th and 7th grade and I have to say that this is the worst school I’ve ever attended. It is full of violence and overall misbehaving kids who really have no interest in doing the work but to torment the teachers and play around with their friends. I was someone though who actually cared about my grades and getting work done but it was almost impossible because of the classroom disruptions. I remember specifically in 7th grade my teacher decided to just give up on getting the other students accept like 4-5 to stop being loud and playing around and taught those who wanted to learn. 7th grade was the worst year of my life. I switched classes because I got made fun of when I came in with a bad haircut, but the class they switched me too I got bullied in. I was a quiet kid who minded her business and these kids tormented me. All I wanted was to learn. 6th grade wasn’t as bad but for both 6th and 7th grade science class the teachers couldn’t teach because of the behavior. Constantly support would be called into the room to yell at the class and take people out. The teachers at this school are pretty sucky and are mean or bi polar there are very few nice ones like the band teacher who is nice.
