Review school

Mid-Peninsula High School, a community for learning, offers students a stimulating, safe environment that empowers them to reach their full academic and social potential. As a small, caring, educational community, we work to strengthen relationships between students, their families, and the school. We recognize and understand unique learning styles and create academic programs designed to meet each student's needs. Our expectation is that Mid-Peninsula High School students will become capable, self-directed individuals who care about themselves, their families, and their communities. We serve students from communities on the Peninsula including the East Bay, San Jose, South Peninsula, and the city of San Francisco. Our campus is BART, CalTrain, Dumbarton Express, and SAMTRANS accessible.
