Good school with lots of resources available to those who want to use them. Wide range of classes. Very good teachers and unique experiences available.

At Dana Hills High School students have the ability to find something they are interested in or begin a new club to explore their passions. Though at times the culture can limit the excitement and success of activities, ASB tried their best to make change and motivate students to be involved and come to school.

Dana Hills High School is a very good school. The teachers really care about the kids actually learn something not just test scores. Dana also has a really good arts program with theater, choirs, band, and visual arts. Dana offers classes that other schools don't have like psychology, personal finance, marine ecology, and culinary arts. It also has the HMO program for kids who want to be in the medical field. I would recommend Dana as your school of choice.

Well-round school. Great academic. The teacher's and parents' relationship is unprecedented!

In my honest opinion, this is the overall the worst high school I have ever encountered. 3000 students, and they have to share a tiny locker is the least of it. The bullying at this school is atrocious. Yes there is security and police on campus, but with that many kids, they can only do so much. Th...

We are in our 3rd year at Dana and I would not want my son anywhere else. This school is amazing! Read some of the negative prior reviews and realized that these are all older reviews before they had made administrative changes at Dana. We started at Dana in 2015 and have had nothing but healthy, po...
