Carlmont High School

Generally speaking the school is good, but some teachers are making a great impact on kids and not in perfect way. For example I would try to avoid Ms. Hero (biology) or Mr. Ramroth. They are very discouraging and unprofessional. Knowing the subject and knowing how to teach it is not the same. Before meeting these teachers my kid was straight A student. After, well a lot of psychological drama and tears even if I just mention word math . And this is happening to a student who was rewarded with some math rewards (1st and 2nd places on bay area Math Olympiads). Thanks a lot, Mr. Ramroth! God bless you. It s not about grades (she still has decent B+ on AP math)., it s about complete feeling of disgust which my kid feels toward the math.

Great experience for both parents and students. Large staff, very caring and supportive; great at their craft. Only wish they had a better Mandarin teacher.

Carlmont is a great school! My daughter is taking mostly AP classes. She is really being challenged, but yet is enjoying her classes. There are many classes to choose from. The school is beautiful, has a brand new performing arts center, art building, and is building a biotech building. I believe she will be ready for college!

My son had a good experience at Carlmont. He was and C+ B- student so no AP classes here. But he found his teachers helpful and enthusiastic. Loved his Physics, International Relations, History, Computer Graphics. Got accepted as an engineering major at a state school.
