(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Canoga Park High School, in my eyes was the best choice for me. I love how this school exposes every student to tradition and best yet how to become a predictive member to society. Canoga offers a lot of academic programs to student who are interstead in different fields of interest for example, avid, bait, farming magnet, and business magnet. Here at Canoga you will find an individual who will assist toy in any problem you may encounter. This school is also very diverse and to me that is important, because student learn to ineract with different kinds of people. If I would choose a school for my son or daughter I would not think twice in choosing this school. I am and forever will be a Hunter graduate class of 2011!

- The worst school ever!!! The councelors don't care about their magnet student's..Do not bus your child here you will truely regret it! I requested an I.E.P. for my child over 5 times . The councelor lied to me over and over again. The teachers just gave her fails all school year. The only thing the staff at this schoolcare about is their paychecks!! Run as fast and as far away from this school as you can. A hurt and disapointed Parent .
