Valencia High School

This is an alright school. If you're worried about gang activity/drugs, there's virtually none. Some teachers are really good, others average, and some are horrible. The office staff can be extremely rude.

This school has gone down hill over the past year or so as it is now way too crowded with all the Castaic area kids coming over, enrollment is way to high, classroom size is out of control. It is projected to only get worse next year. My kid is just a number, if your kid needs extra help in one of their classes good luck getting it!

This school caters to those students who are college-preparatory, driven by rigorous instruction, and academically ambitious. The teachers, like those in most high-performing schools, are at the top of their game: bright, industrious, tech-savy, and demanding. They make no apologies for their lofty expectations. In fact, the parents demand it! We are delighted to have our child at this school, with two more on the way!

I attended this school for 2 years, it was a fantastic place to learn and grow. It was the place i grew into who i am today, The kids at this school make it. Everyone is friends with everyone. I do have only two problems, there was no wood or metal shop, and the math department was much to be desired

My daughter is in the special education program and has a very caring teacher, assistants and also a very caring male assistant. They offer wonderful activities for the students including academic and life learning skills. There also was a prom for these students which was very special.

My son has been a student here for two years, all in all a positive experience. My only problem with this school is the diversity of the faculty. There are no blacks,a few asian, and hispanic members of the faculty. The counselors seem interested, but overwhelmed by the sheer number of students . My son seems to like it, but I would like to see a more diverse faculty.

An entirely average school. As a graduate of Valencia High, I feel that I missed out on quite a few things in my senior year. I felt that Valencia High School didn't really focus on leaving no child behind. Plus it smelled because of the sewage.

Overall, a very good school. All schools in this area are impacted by the increase in new construction (housing), so the high school populations are growing. Still, Valencia High manages to maintain a positive environment for all students, with emphasis on education, career development, personal growth, and tolerance of other people's quirks and opinions. There are many opportunities for extra-curricular activities, from sports (both for girls and boys), to music and arts performing groups, to an abundance of clubs. I recommend this school over most of the high schools in the Santa Clarita area.
