San Mateo Times Story
The San Mateo Times described the current challenge the Adult School faces:
more students than ever with less money to serve them.
In spite of that challenge, the Adult School remains committed to serving every student well, using a combination of smarts, experience, and frugality to wring learning from every allotted dollar. That's our job and a job we're proud to do.

Serving the Many
The San Mateo Adult Schools serves a broad array of people.
Immigrants needing English, job, and citizenship skills; young adults in search of a high school diploma; older adults in search of mental and physical stimulation; under-employed or unemployed adults looking to expand their job horizons; parents committed to better parenting - all looked to the Adult School to meet their needs.
In the 2007-2008, 12,500 students attended the school.
The numbers break down as follows:
English as a Second Language (including citizenship): 6,600
Fifty Plus (classes for Adults over Fifty years young): 3,300
Adults with Disabilities: 965
Vocational Education: 870
Parent Education: 400
Adult Basic Education: 190
High School Subjects (including GED): 900
Students in the Building Futures, a program which helps young adults gain the skills needed to enter a union trade, fell in either the ABE or the HS Subjects program, depending on how they tested.
