Summary

Valley International Preparatory High is a small, high-performing public high school serving about 260 students in grades 9-12 in Northridge, CA, operating within its own Valley International Preparatory High District.

The school stands out for its exceptional academic results, particularly in English where student proficiency nearly doubles the state average, and for its remarkable effectiveness with special education students, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide. It achieves this with a low student-teacher ratio and at a lower cost per student than many nearby schools, such as Magnolia Science Academy and Reseda Charter High, which spend significantly more. The school also maintains high graduation rates and lower chronic absenteeism compared to both the state average and many neighbors like John R. Wooden High.

While excelling overall, the school's math scores, though above average, are closer to those of schools like Magnolia Science Academy 5, indicating a potential area for growth. Its consistent, high performance and efficient use of resources make it a standout model in the area, contrasting with the more volatile results seen at some other local charter schools.

Thursday, December 22, 2022

A complete circus. Head of the school was essentially supposed to be fired. Instead, founder leaves and the head stays. Inexperienced, weird, deviant, and corrupt. School is run by a board completely stocked with parents. Grade inflation in this tiny perverse community is rampant. Close Quote
