Athenian High School - Reviews?

Hi - Looking for more current reviews of Athenian High School. We are considering for our child next year and wondering if it's too far a commute (we live in south Berkeley), how intense the academics are (is it a pressure cooker?), and what the social life life is like (especially for a kid coming in at HS - not having been there for middle school).  Curious to here any/all thoughts on the school. Thanks!
