Vandegrift High School

7.8/10, very fun and tolerate teachers so that is good. Though some students think they are better than others and don't want to learn, so not the teachers fault. Traffic sucks....

Excellent high-quality school in a beautiful setting, although traffic can be miserable.

Being a parent of students at this school is stressful at best. There are a few gems in the pool of staff and I do appreciate that. The academics are rigorous but in this day and age, I feel we need to focus more on the quality of the student's experience, helping them grow and develop with positive support, communication and to develop self-love. This school relies heavily on putting down those that struggle and consequences for those that may have difficulties at times with impulse control. I wish they would take the time to engage with students more and use mistakes as opportunities for growth. They waste these chances. Our school has an epidemic of anxiety, depression, substance use, eating disorders and competitiveness. I feel that if my children come out okay from this school then I have absolutely done something right at home and they will be okay in the real world.

My daughter is a rising Junior. Our first two years at Vandegrift have been incredible. Her teachers have been outstanding - supportive and invested in her learning. I have a second daughter who will be starting Vandegrift this fall and I am thrilled for her and all the upcoming opportunities. We have two younger children and will stay zoned for Vandegrift because of our positive experience.
