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.

My experience at VUHS has been positive overall, with a strong sense of community (especially at sports games), a small but mighty music program, and a lot of student-involvement. The help students receive when it comes to our futures could definitely be better, though, so if I could change one thing it would be offering more resources to students looking into college and planning their schedules.

I liked the social environment and classes where you do alot of hands on projects. It is much more helpful for me to learn actually doing the things that we learn. Something I hope for change is the sports, they don't offer all that much, even though their academics is good and they have a high passing rate with high expectations for their students.

There are a wide variety of teaching styles at VUHS. The teachers who are good are of the highest quality, but the teachers who are bad are horrible.

A significant drug and alcohol problem in this school.Each year there are arrests for this issues. The school has had years and years of structual neglect, while a very,very weak school board ignored the issues.
