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.

Rules and regulations teachers apply to a classroom WITHOUT parents consent or knowledge is ridiculous. Its made out to outcast certain students and in many ways to "bully" them. There's no good things coming out of their regulations, its reverse being mean, trying to intimidate kids. 4th grande teacher masia does let the girls run the classroom, bully the boys, and give her back to certain actions. Parents please be aware when your kids do not like a teacher, there's always something behind it.
