GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Being a part of the Van Vandals has been one of the best things to have ever happened to me, it is a great school with many different opportunities, the staff is great, not only the teachers but the principal, lunch ladies and everyone. I am absolutely blessed by being a part of it.

Van High School offers many CTE programs unlike many schools. They help jump start your career with programs like agriculture, welding, floral, and realtor licence program.

Its fine, lots of racism, fights, and drugs but overall a very entertaining school to say the least. Some of the teachers lack enthusiasm however some other teachers make sure to build an emotional connection with students.

The teachers are awful, and disrespectful. They do not care about you, or about how you feel. They do not care if you struggle as long as you are not bothering them with your problems.
