School Overview

Burlingame High sits in one of the Peninsula's most sought-after towns — a walkable, tree-lined community halfway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley where families tend to put down serious roots. The school punches particularly strong in science, which makes sense given the tech-forward culture of the surrounding area, and its overall academic profile draws families who want a well-rounded public high school without sacrificing rigor. If you're drawn to a tight-knit suburb with a genuine downtown, good weather by Bay Area standards, and a school that reflects the ambition of the community around it, Burlingame High is worth a close look.
