8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWalter Hays is a fantastic school that offers a lot of opportunities to all students. Our child is in Special Education and we feel that her progress is remarkable. Additional Parent organized activities (Makerspace for sewing, sawing and art work, Ice Skating, etc.) make it fun for the families to join in. It is great to be part of this professional and friendly organization!Parent Review3mo ago - Palo Alto High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you have any choice in the matter, I strongly advise you not to send your teenager to Palo Alto high school. The level of toxic stress at this school, exacerbated by miserable teachers, and under- educated administrators, is a recipe for distress amongst the students. The students grade-shame each other. My daughter was actually told by her fellow classmate that she was at risk of not graduating with a 3.7 GPA. And the sad part is that the child actually believed that. One notably unhappy teacher has a “dunce corner” where she humiliates students by having them stand in the corner if they’ve asked a question that the teacher feels is “stupid.” Another teacher keeps her room lights off and has students play videos at different volumes at different speeds - many without headsets - in the classroom. When some students cannot learn in this environment, they are penalized and blamed for not paying attention. When the administration is asked to step in, not only does stonewalling occur, but threats to the family are made. Our realtor told us that as many families leave Palo Alto for the schools as move into Palo Alto for the schools. This makes sense to me now that we have experienced that firsthand. There is enough stress placed on students without the unnecessary chaos of this dangerous school. We could not get out fast enough.Parent Review1mo ago - Frank S. Greene Jr. Middle

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere were nice experiences with some teachers and these teachers get burned out. But overall, not a good education if you need help from teachers and you end up in real trouble for high school. It's very easy to fall behind in a few weeks and you will not catch up all year.Parent Review5y ago

"It’s Silicon Valley so most days the roads are jammed. I try to leave later than most people. When going up to San Francisco I take the CalTrain. The California Avenue station is in walking distance."

"We moved here 4 days before our first child was born. Since then we have enjoyed the Palo Alto Unified School district and the great experience our 3 daughters have had through Paly High. We walk to restaurants on California Avenue and to the Cal Train station there on a regular basis. The architecture from the 30s is exactly what we like, and it is still the main theme in our neighborhood, although most of the houses are updated inside and very well kept."
- Chris W.

"Wonderful neighborhood, exceptional schools, shops, parks, weather, what more can you ask for?"
- Scott D.

"Old Palo Alto is one of the best neighborhoods in Palo Alto - but its hard to say there are any bad neighborhoods in Palo Alto. I love the tree lined streets and the character of the homes - most of which were built in the 20's and 30's. I've found the neighbors to be very community oriented - this is a neighborhood people choose to live in because they want their kids to go to the neighborhood public schools and they want to be able to walk to stores and restaurants on California Ave, University Ave or the Town and Country shopping center. Stanford University is a short bike ride or walk and we try to take advantage it - taking our kids to the Stanford museums, attending talks or sporting events. For our friends that are looking to buy homes in this area, they are often trying to decide between buying in Palo Alto (which tends to be more expensive) or buying in Los Altos or Menlo Park. The tradeoffs are paying a bit more in Palo Alto for the schools, the community and walking access to great downtown resources vs. getting a slightly larger home/lot in Los Altos or Menlo Park."
