Palo Alto High School

"This high school prepared me well for college; I couldn't have asked for a better school. I also participated in a number of activities that were only possible because Stanford University is right across the street (various clubs, etc). This is one of the best high schools in the country (at least it was when I attended)."

"spaghetti is mediocre at best. i cam expecting a nice dinner experience but i ended up being served a tray of spaghetti in a metal bowl like i were some sort of peasant. fuff! would not recommend."

"The spaghetti quality is really intermittent. Some days you can be like, wow! I really like this spaghetti but other days you are disappointed. Generally no gluten free options and for my celiac friend that is distressing. Most of the time they will have a vegan option but even that is also very hard to predict. Really sad that such a great school with so much public funding isn't doing more to improve it's pasta reputation. It's a bit of an impasta, if you ask me. Not that you did. Some days they cook the spaghetti for too long, and it's really mushy. Other days it's perfectly al dente- like 2 Michelin star quality. Sometimes they don't put the dry spaghetti in water, they just light it on fire and serve it as a flambe. It mixes things up, but it really hurts to eat. AP Physics is a course solely based on the physics of the wet pasta noodle, and it's really hard for them to do labs, because the spaghetti just really sucks sometimes. I'm failing my classes."

"Great school. Most of the teachers are fantastic. The programs and opportunities here are unrivaled."

"This review is only for the field. Play lacrosse here once a week and the field is great. There is parking close by and the school is easy to get to. The lights are great at night and turf is well maintained."
