This school has great teachers that challenge you to learn and help you find your passion. They gave me opportunities I never knew was possible. VNHS has many programs and activities open for students. They have a great performing arts and ARTS programs, the best magnet in our School.

My experience with Van Nuys Senior High School has been good. The past years I've spent since my move to California have been a different experience, and being at the school helped me get to know the state a bit better with my friends and the opportunities I gained through machinist classes and graphic design as well.

For students in Honors and AP classes, you have good teachers who want to teach. For average students or those who might struggle academically, you have lousy teachers who just pass your kid to move them on to the next year. I have one of each.

5/16/2025
This school is very hit or miss depending on what teachers you get. The gang related activity and voilence at this school runs rampant and the staff do very little to almost nothing about it. Illicit drug use and fights happen almost every day at this school, even to the point of multiple stabbings...
1/25/2020
My experience at the school as a parent has been amazing in the magnet. There are very smart kids from great families with good values.
2/26/2019
I love the school, the teachers are great and overall great school! However, if your child is serious about music and you are looking to send your child to performing arts magnet, I say don't do it. The level of the music at the performing arts are terrible. I don't see how they can call performing...

I like it more and more each year. The magnet programs are solid and while the campus needs TLC it is quite nice to visit on back to school nights etc. The students I encounter seem to enjoy being there and all seem to be thriving.
