About Synapse School
Synapse School is a private elementary school in Menlo Park, CA. Synapse School serves approximately 342 students, and covers grades Kindergarten-8th, and has a 5.8:1 student-teacher ratio.

What Parents Should Know
At 5.8:1 students to teachers, Synapse School sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
Synapse School is private, so it runs independently of the local district and sets its own curriculum. That freedom cuts both ways depending on what you want for your child. If you're considering it, start with the practical questions: tuition, financial aid, and how admissions work.

Why doesn't this school have a score?
We don't have enough verified data to rate this school fairly. Private schools in CA aren't required to report standardized test scores to the state, which limits the data available for our rating model.
Our rating model requires at least 2 of 3 data components (academics, student progress, college readiness, and resources) to generate a meaningful score. Schools below this threshold receive a Limited Profile to avoid misleading ratings.
