This is an amazing, supportive and caring school. We love this school!

Canoga Park High School is very adamant about students doing the best they can and getting into college; assemblies are made to see where students are academically and to remind them about where they are supposed to be. They offer good magnets, academic resources, and extra summer learning apart from the usual summer credit make-up such as ninth-grade summer geometry classes. While CPHS has good initiative in academics they do a poorer job in almost every other aspect. Many of the non-magnet counselors (only ever encountered non-magnet) never answer their emails or are never in their offices, the campus is dirty with trash and writings on the bathroom stalls, and they lack a sense of urgency with student complaints (about other students/teachers/campus. There is very little accessibility for those who require a wheelchair apart from the one(maybe two) elevator/s on campus. Students are rowdy, ill-mannered, and have very little desire to learn; many classes get interrupted by a student who complains or tries to be funny in a disrespectful manner. Recently, mirrors have been removed from bathroom stalls in an alleged attempt to keep students in classes in the morning/during class time but to no avail students still linger in the bathroom and around campus.

The academics at this school are a joke, even in "honors" they were barely being taught. The kids are babied, majorly. They aren't taught at very high standards and don't get a true consequence for violence. There are fights way too often here and most the kids disrespect the adults. Not enough staff to keep up with all the mischief. The newer assistant principal is no good. He doesn't take parent/student concerns seriously. To get your kid into a true and fun elective...good luck on that as well. They don't offer too much.
