School Overview

Berkeley High sits in the heart of one of the Bay Area's most intellectually charged cities, drawing students from across a genuinely diverse community — from the flatlands to the hills — which makes for a high school experience that's as much about navigating real-world perspectives as it is about academics. The school's science program is a particular standout, ranking in the top tier statewide, and families with strong STEM interests will find plenty of depth there. For those who thrive in a big, urban, ideas-driven environment and want a high school that reflects the complexity of the city around it, Berkeley High delivers something you'd be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in the East Bay.
