They do not care for you! I'm a student here and i've never had a problem here except for my last year here and it's not even with a student it's with a grown adult (ms. mills) girl please. I talked with the assistant principal mrs Michaels about it and she don't care , all she said was "I'm being sensitive" about it. There's so much I could say about the situation but Not even you're assistant principal will do anything about it.. just making excuses for the adult thanks for the help though I guess. read more

I have to say miss Preston is the best environmental studies teacher ever. When I am in class with her she makes studying the environment extremely engaging and applicable to our daily lives. Her enthusiasm for the subject comes through in her class, and she constantly goes above and beyond to make sure we grasp the concepts. It also helps that she's really friendly and approachable, which makes asking questions in class much less scary. Environmental studies used to seem kind of boring and like "I don't care I already know about climate change and whatever blah blah blah" to me, but now surprisingly I look forward to Miss Preston's class every day! She also has a great personality and raises the standard for canoga high :) I hope other people have the pleasure of being in her class like I do. read more

I had the unfortunate luck to have spent ten years in the San Fernando Valley. It wasn't my fault, I blame mom and dad, who moved here from West LA when I was eight years old. I knew then, like I know now, that I had to get the f*** out of dodge as soon as I could (and I did). I've only been back to LA a few times since 1975 (when I finally escaped). But Canoga High was a pretty cool place to go to school in the early seventies. I hung out with (and was a card carrying member) of a small tribe of hippies called the Vance Trance for reasons I no longer remember (back then you were either a jock, a 'sosh' or a hippie. I chose the latter). We were very into being hippies and music was about the most important thing we knew and cared about. We had some great times - I'm still friends with most of that old gang. Canoga High is distinctive because it is the site of the southernmost grove of Sequoias in the world. It's also located right across the street from a shopping mall. read more

This was THE GREATEST PLACE ON EARTH 2002-2006! It was destiny for me to come here. It made me who i am! THANK GOD i did. Thank god Jefferson high school was over crowded...thank god i met such wonderful people. ill always treasure this school. I know a a lot of people say they miss HS...but trust me when us hunters say we MISS HIGH SCHOOL WE MEAN IT! this place was just different from most school and places. Its that feeling youd get when being here. There was so much pride here, everyone was proud of being a hunter even after YOU'VE GRADUATED! this is best high school. I graduated in the summer of june 22,2006 ill never ever forget that day. The was the Year Dr.T left canoga, ever since he left i heard the school hasnt been the same. i remember way back when there was no in-n-out across the street...except we had A KRISPY KREME!!! and the mall wasnt soooo big as it is today. When we had a robinsons may instead of a target. When we had that walk out in 2006, when we protested againts the war in iraq 2003. this school means a lot to every single hunter who's attended here. read more

The school is litttyyyyy you know it's the best place to learn and the mall is close to it...

My dad and Aunt and Uncle went here. And By the time I got here it wasn't the same school. However I did have a history teacher who taught my father. Weird. As far as places go. I suppose I could have gone to a worse school. But in my 3 1/2 years here (I didn't drop out, i had a chance to graduate early so i did) there was a few gang wars, a threat on the school, our new principal tried helping us win a KROQ contest (We lost) Pauly shore visited us (WHY HIM? I don't know) P!nk played at our school. We lost our school made play and I was able to show why the security system there sucked. ANd I'm glad they put the IN N out there after I graduated because well... I love in n out. :) Though I found out it is the oldest high school in our area of the valley. And actually very small. read more

This is a review of Canoga Park High's cafeteria back from 1980 to 1983; I've always wanted to get this off my chest. The cafeteria at Canoga Park is an outdoor covered pavilion quaintly settled in the center of the school with three access/exits points. The dining ambiance is somewhat akin to a Gordon Ramsay experience. . . Hell's Kitchen vs. Hell's Cafeteria. The accommodations consists of over-sized and very uncomfortable park benches that were used from your elementary schools days. There are no civilized chairs or tables to be found. To maintain a fresh look and a tidy experience; the benches are hosed down daily by bored and uninterested janitorial staff resulting in numerous wet spots on the bench tops and seats. If you're not paying attention, you can easily sit in one of these wet spots which creates great fun for your friends who will accuse you of peeing in your pants. However, you may not hear your friends teasing you because the noise level is incredibly high due to overly excited teenagers trying to over shout each other. Also, due to the very limited and poorly completed hose down at the end of the day, some food remains, spoils and leaves a very pungent smell for the following day. Bon Appétit! Now, let's examine the menu. . . The highlights of the menu include the ever popular LAUSD Coffee Cake and Sugar Cookies made onsite by the "kitchen staff". What teenager doesn't love a sugar packed snack! Unfortunately, the coffee cake and sugar cookies are a distant and fond memory now; thanks Michelle Obama! The rest of the menu consists of pre-packaged meals purchased by LAUSD from the lowest bidder. The bean burritos are quite exciting considering you may get an unexpected surprise mixed in with the beans. . .Mmmm. . .don't those maggots taste great! Overall, back in the early 1980s, the Canoga Park High Cafeteria was noisy, smelly, wet, uncomfortable and unhealthy. . .not the place you would take your significant other on a date. But, we were all teenagers and didn't know any better and we survived! read more

idk where all the gang bang craps about the school came from but i can be sure to say that it is safe or as safe as other schools! everyone is proud to be a hunters!!!! you will feel at home here because the school is small and everyone knows everyone else. i just love it! 2006-2010 read more

All the reviews on here are dated so here's an update on Canoga Park High School. The Principal is horrible! !! He does not return parent phone calls, address any issues he simply passes the buck. The teacher's are not held to any LAUSD or ethical standard. They are pretty much given free range to do as they please. Student requests or concerns are discarded with the days garbage. My family was so excited about their Agricultural and Veterinarian Magnet it looked very promising and it has been nothing more than a disappointment. My child is a hard working student with good grades and has never been in any sort of trouble and this school doesn't help support any of these student's, they are all left on the back burner. This will definitely be the last year my child attends this school. Anyone who is considering sending their child to this magnet or school should seriously reconsider and look into North Hollywood Zoo Magnet or the new Animal Science Magent at Verdugo Hills High School. read more

The "best kept secret" school in the San Fernando Valley that LAUSD has to offer!
