This school is a part of Sequoia Union High School District

Sequoia Union High School District remains an academic powerhouse with high-performing flagship schools like Carlmont and Menlo-Atherton consistently outpacing state standards; however, it is currently in a state of operational transition and controversy. The district faces significant community backlash following the decision to close the newly built TIDE Academy to address a $6 million deficit, alongside parent concerns regarding the removal of honors-level 'bridge' courses for younger students. While the core academic portfolio is robust, recent lawsuits involving staff misconduct and ongoing debates over curriculum equity and fiscal management signal internal instability that offsets its high-ranking test scores.
