We moved to Millbrae in part because the excellent reputation of its schools. Some of the teachers are truly wonderful (like Ms. Lam). However, there are some challenges. Millbrae has no enrichment programs and principal has said repeatedly that enrichment happens only outside of school. There are very limited resources. Library time happens for only 30 minutes once per week. PE is also very limited - once per week. My kids complain about not having any time to move around. There is zero flexibility with the curriculum, so it doesn't matter what level your child is at for reading or math - they will be forced to do the standard curriculum no matter what. I think this is a decent school if your kid fits well in his/her grade level, but if they are above grade level or need enrichment, this is not a good place. My kid also got tackled and held down by a bigger kid one day when they had an event for kids from all grades, and the principal refused to do anything about it, claiming there were no witnesses. That part was not true - another parent heard about the incident from her kid and asked me how my kid was doing because it looked so bad. But it is unfortunate that the school does not take my kid's word or give support when my child is complaining.
