As far as I've known and attended this school, there has been ups and downs across all grades. Usually if you follow the rules and do the work. It should be easy to get an acceptable grade. Sports and activities are mostly successful specially the soccer team.

My experience in Van Horn High School has been one of the greatest 4 years of my life. Although there was definitely many ups and downs the stuff I learned and experienced was really worth it. When it comes to academics my teachers helped me a lot and there so many clubs and sport to be a part of. Overall it's a great experience and happy to have gone there.

I love this school for my son, He is doing well and thriving ! The staff and administration are helpful and thorough. Its clean, safe and the diversity is awesome. My son enjoys going to school and is always talking about how he enjoys his ROTC coach.
