Villa Park High School

"Graduated 10+ years ago, and this is my view of VPHS: True prison-of-the mind school. The layout is similar to a prison, concrete block buildings with no windows, 8 foot fences, security guards, security cameras, detentions and demerits and attendance offices, stuff prisons are made of. @VPHS if you focus on obedience, not free thought or intelligence, you will graduate. Sincerely regret I ended up here, but I had no choice and did not know better. The good teachers can be counted on 1 hand, the rest are there because they can't get a job elsewhere. Total waste of 4 years, I wish I could have them back. Learned nothing. American school system is so bad, arguably worse than having no schooling at all. Teachers so bad at VPHS they turned subjects I find fascinating into hate, took me 10 year to find the subjects again. In a society of pure merit and pure consequence, these "teachers" should be subject to imprisonment for wrecking the livelihood and future wellness of kids turning adults. I am sad I learned nothing useful in 4 years, and had to do it all over in College/Universities."

"2 kids over 8 years at VP. A very solid public high school with something for every kid that wants to make it their own. Hands down the best instrumental music program in Orange Unified and great sports teams to generate fantastic school spirit. Activities and clubs for any interest. Supportive and innovative administration. If a kid will get involved in something they will have a wonderful experience at Villa Park High School."

"My niece has been threatened and bullied, and the school will do nothing about it. Damned Principles in that school are more worried about who's ass to kiss next that their real job is neglected."

"VPHS was one of the nicest schools I've ever been to. Not only was I helping Mr. Smith in the library but I was also swimming on the swim team and that was fun. I was also in the national honor society and I graduated with honors. I'm gonna miss VPHS and all the great teachers that I had there."

"Not only is VPHS a great High school but I was proud to be part of the Cross country and Track team for 3 years 10th to 12th grade. Class of 2013. :) woohoo!!!"
