I graduated from VPHS in 2004 and went on to graduate from UC Berkeley in 2008. VPHS has a wide breadth of AP courses and excellent honors course teachers that I would highly recommend. This is definitely a good school for honors students.

I currently have 1 at VPHS and 2 that have graduated. School is overall good but there are some teachers who are worthless. The administration is very helpful at solving issues you just have to be determined.

Academically very challenging if your child is an honors or AP student. If you child is a good student but not gifted, there is no special placement for them. They are put in classes with behavior problems and kids who don't care about school. I think you would get an inferior education compared to private

I currently just finished my first year at Villa Park. As an honors student I felt that I was definently challenged though the couselors give very little attention about your schedule needs and the students going into AP classes. The sports teams and extracurriculars are amazing and there are many opportunities.

I am a former student and I loved this school. Most of the faculty is amazing, full of caring individuals. Of course, there are many that are downright awful, and the counselors make your life exceedinly difficult. However, lots of spirit, lots of activities, chances to get involved, and nice assemblies.

I am currently sending my 2nd daughter through this school, and not impressed this time either.

I left many messages

I am not a parent, but instead a former student who is now attending a state university. I feel that Villa Park has many great things to offer students. The teaching staff is almost always willing to help struggling students, the Student Government (ASB) and athletics keep your child involved. I went

Counselors are hard to reach, they don't respond to phone calls, so just march in and ask for an appointment. Also, if your child is severly struggling, contact the teacher as soon as possible, because they take a while to get back to you. Read less

My older sister attends the Villa Park High. She was struggling in some of her classes and the teachers took the time to bring her up to date. Now she is an honor student!
