Calabasas High School, and the LVS district, did a great job educating our three children. We could not afford private schools, moved into the school district because of the past record of being a good public school system. and have no regrets, only thanks to the schools our children attended. All three participated in team sports and admittedly were average or below average compared to their teammates, yet in retrospect enjoyed the discipline they learned from being on a team sport. One participated in the music program and got to play at the Hollywood Bowl Jazz Festival! Some took Advanced Placement course which did help prepare them of college. Two went to UCs, one went to CSU. All graduated college. They all still have good character friends from LVS schools they attended, which is one of the best outcomes. None of our children were part of the "in crowd", but they learned to seek out the quality teachers, found friends that did not smoke or do drugs. You have to instill the values you want them to have way before high school. As parents, we set the example.... do we walk the talk, or not. It begins with us. Don't just tell your kids, "just be themselves"... tell them to be " the best version of themselves and make friends who are striving to do the same."

Chaparral is an incredible school. The teachers are dedicated to the students and community. The strong parents association helps to support the teachers and administrators year round to cultivate a love of learning and provide additional resources when needed. The school focuses on the "whole student" growth mindset which is awesome. Chaparral has specialists for PE, music and art, as well as a media clerk. There are opportunities for parent involvement and a high level of ongoing communication to parents from the teachers and staff. This is a fabulous school!

I have been in this school for two years and recently graduated. I’m very pleased with my experience at this school and I had a very good time there. At first, it was rough and I didn’t have friends but most of the kids here are friendly and the staff and administrators are super kind and helpful. The teachers are excellent and care about the students and their success. This school isn’t very big and there aren’t too many students so, for me, who can’t stand big spaces and areas this school was perfect for me. I do not understand any of the negative reviews and are very much the opposite from what I experienced. I have a 504 plan as I am an individual with ADH: and most of the teachers respected that and gave me more time for my assignments. I love the community a lot as well and it has a very positive vibe. Overall, an excellent school and I highly recommend.
