My child is currently in TK at Duveneck, and we’ve had such a wonderful experience so far. The teacher is warm, patient, and truly dedicated to the kids’ growth, which made the transition into school so smooth. The community here is very welcoming and supportive, and there are plenty of engaging act
Posted by a parent on 10/2/2025Outstanding principle and teachers who help the community to weather pandemic with care and thoughtfulness. Effective/nimble covid response/process to keep kids learning and safe. One of the first in bay area to offer parents choice of hybrid/remote learning since Oct. 2020.
Posted by a parent on 5/12/2021Duveneck has been blessed with a great principal. The school has turned over 3 principals due to promotions, relocation, etc. Our latest principal is excellent. My kids are now in 5th grade. I kept waiting for the year they got the awful teacher. Never happened. 10 teachers over the years ranging fr
Posted by a parent on 12/12/2013Amazing, Amazing, Amazing in every way. Teachers absurdly great, kids smart and beautifully behaved, new principle young, fun and the kids love him.

Posted by a parent on 11/1/2012I am a parent at this school and I would just like to express my disagreement on the gross generalization that one of the parent reviewers has posted on Nov 9, 2010. I don't believe any segregation occurs by any ethnic, socio-econo or PTA groups. A school of ~450 kids with ~900 parents would have a

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageINTL’s high school stands out for the way it combines academic excellence with a genuinely international perspective in the IB framework. The IB approach is second to none and IB graduates are sought out by highly selective colleges. The IB asks students to think deeply, manage their time well, and engage with ideas from different points of view, which prepares them well for college and beyond. What also makes the school unique is that language learning and bilingualism are central to the student experience alongside an outstanding STEM and humanities program within the IB framework. Students are challenged academically and are known by their teachers and supported as individuals. The Menlo Park location is also another huge plus. It’s in the beautiful Willows neighborhood, so it’s safe, in a prime location surrounded by leafy trees and a nice park, and allows students some autonomy to go off campus. Overall, it’s a outstanding school!Principal Review1mo ago - The Primary School - East Palo Alto
