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.

Depending on what magnet ur in etc. they either love you or hate you. They don't car abt residential kids and give a lot of the money to sports as there are hundreds. Everyone else kind of fends for themselves for funding.

Van Nuys Senior High offers variety of education opportunities in just one campus which allows every student the freedom to express who they are. I had the pleasure of being a part of many classes whom I had classmates become my friends very easily which can further implicate what a great community there is within the school. Although I may include the recent act of violence of a couple students I'd like to point out our staff and overall students acted accordingly to what we were told and in just a matter of one day everything was back to normal.

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.
