In my opinion, this school is great. I have not encountered any issues & this school gets you ready for college.
5/12/2024
I like the teachers at Van Nuys; they are always open to helping students reach their academic and personal goals. Great performing arts and magnet program, lots of opportunities to play sports but at a low level. Generally a good school academic wise.
3/6/2024
Van Nuys Senior High School shows school spirit whether it be for spirit week, home games, or activities during lunch, students are always joining to support each other. Lively energy connects students, and that's one of the best parts of these experiences. The students at school engage with school events and those events are also chances to meet new people and have the school be brought together.

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...

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.
