VNHS is amazing! My son is going to be a senior and has had the BEST experience at VN High. The teachers are great, the sports are great, the parent engagement is great, and most of all my son is LOVING high school. I am always so impressed at Back to School night, the teachers are awesome and so kind. No school is perfect, remember that! Bad stuff happens all over the area and in all schools. Yes, the school is not in the best area, but it is safe and the staff and admin help keep it safe. Tour the school, talk to people, go see for yourself what a GEM Van Nuys HS is! I plan on sending my younger son to the same school.

I am a student at this school. 7th grade and my years here are the worst. Teachers yell at you if you tell them if you want to use the restroom. 6th grade was good but got lazy over the summer break. They are fast at seeing oil leaks. You see some fighting once a month. My cousin was here from (6-11). He hated this school. Moved this senior year because of fighting. He was a lonely kid and a kid saw a chance to fight him and push him. The teacher was also calling a kid fat. My friends heard the same thing. Maybe better teachers and learning. I hope for a better year this year!

My rating of this school is very low because of the leadership. The administration is the worst anywhere and the principal is one of the worst leaders I have ever come across she doesn't care for anyone but herself. If you question or cross her in the wrong way she will hate you for no reason.
