2/5/2025
So far my high school experience has been great. My high school (Valencia High school) has a very good technology and business program that offer just about any career path there is when it comes to tech or business. We also have a great AVID program that helps us with our college readiness and they take us on trips to colleges and universities to show us how a campus would be and what certain campuses offer to students. Now moving into clubs there is plenty of clubs in VHS you will find just about anything from ethnical clubs to distinct arts clubs.(There's even a food and sleep club). The food is pretty good to me but I have heard other opinions saying that the food is mid. There is nothing I could say is bad from the school other then maybe sometimes they have the bathrooms closed during class and after school. But overall I am happy I get to be at this amazing highschool with many programs and social activities.

I'm a senior in Valencia High school and in these 4 years being at Valencia they were the best years. So much memories and fun with friends. Teachers are so amazing and making learning fun and engaging.

There are many good communities and teachers on campus but the facilities could use work. Not being in certain programs might limit your opportunities for a few specific things.

Valencia offers perhaps the best academic programs in the PYLUSD school district, encouraging students to enroll in IB, Cambridge, and ValTech courses. The bulk of the student population consists of minorities, and such diversity contrasts with other schools within the district, ones that particular...

Overall good and sometimes bad for average and above-average students. But I am assuming it can get worse somewhere else.

There aren't too many high schools where you can experience a diverse student body combined with a strong academic program that allows access to ALL students. Amazing teachers, quality athletics, amazing clubs, and a strong instrumental music program. The drama program and school newspaper are the o...
