A family friend had three kids go through HS in PA and not only did none of the kids end up in a particularly great school, two of the three kids didn't finish on time due to unspecified/emotional issues. When we were house-hunting we took it as a consolation that we couldn't afford to live in Palo Alto!

There's always East Palo Alto but kids there face a different set of challenges

For sure, though I think their HS is actually pretty good. At least parts of EPA feed into Menlo Atherton HS.

East Palo Alto students of 'color' can transfer to Palo Alto's school district among others.
