THIS SCHOOL IS HORRIBLE AT DE-ESCALATING BULLYING AND THREATS AGAINST A CHILD. FOR YEARS HAS NOT BEEN FAIR OR DISICIPLINED THE STUDENTS THAT NEEDED TO BE DISCIPLINED. MY CHILD WAS HARRASED AND THREATS WERE BEING MADE AGAINST. NOTHING WAS DONE. SHAME ON THE PRINCIPAL AND SOME OF HER STAFF.

I believe the school is a good school to raise your kids up in, mostly good teachers, lots of great people to be around, some drug use within the kids of the school but what high school doesn't have that.

Great...considering it's a small community school you just can't compare it to 4K student body ratio high school. It truly takes a lot of parent involment. The school does its best with the resources they have! Live the community and the schools!

When we moved to this school district, we had come from an over populated school district (over crowded, no personal student care, kids were just a face in the crowd) on this campus kids are known by one another, acknowledged by teachers and staff and supported. Very pleased with VHS.

My family recently moved to this area and my children were given a choice of whether to attend SCV schools or our local rural schools. They each chose to stay. Each one of them played CIF sports, sang in the choir and ultimately received college scholarships for academics and athletics. Vasquez High School prepared each one of my children for the rigors of post secondary education and provided a place they can always return to and call home. Thank you to the teachers and administration at this dear school for caring so much.

Vasquez High school is an amazing school that gets really undercut by parents from the SCV, that do not even have their children attending this school. Great teachers and staff with an amazing sense of community and pride! Kids are not getting lost in the shuffle do to size and number of students. Their abilities and talents are highlighted and recognized! There is also and amazing group of coaches with a great sports program. A small town slice of community!

The principal, Ty Devoe, was extremely rude and degrading to me, a veteran teacher of 8 years. If he was like this with me, then I would not trust him with students. I have a passion for teaching and after this experience and reading the reviews about Mr. Devoe below, I felt parents should be made aware of this. I have had experiences ranging from neutral to positive (mostly on the positive side) in my eight years of working with teachers and administrators, who were both caring and patient, two qualities which should be second nature as an effective teacher or administrator.

So sad. I know every school has its devoted teachers and mediocre teachers, but there are teachers at this school who are barely functioning. Along with a pricipal who is non existenant. If you ask students they will tell you the current pricipal is never on campus and does not attend extracurricular activities. There are only two math teachers, one who jokes with the students and one who is too ill to function on most days. The science teacher humiliates and degrades students on a daily basis, rather than motivating them, he tells them they are stupid and will mostly end up working at McDonalds. I know teenagers can be challenging, but to humiliate them does not improve the situation. Classes should be monitored periodically, perhaps even have the students write evaluations of the teachers. I know there will be inapproapriate responses by some. Involve the students more, ask them what would make Vasquez a better school. Have a suggestion box students can submit ideas and vote on changes to the school that affect them. Build a gym, the students don't care that they are in trailers, they want a gym/multipurpose/ cafeteria/locker room not a new admistration building.

This school and the school district is failing the youth of the community. When we moved to agua dulce 15 years ago we were told that our daughter was lucky because she would be in the first graduating class that attended 4 years at the new school, she is now graduating college and that school is still not built, 4 years ago a bond was passed to build a new school, still to this day not a single board has had a nail put in it. The school should be condemned, portable buildings that need repair, paint, no shelter for students at recess, a gymnasium that can not be used by the school because it does not meet state criteria., the list goes on. We are moving so we do not need to subject our son to this mess

Well I'm afraid I have to offer a contrarian opinion here, to many of these suspiciously glowing reviews from faculty and parents who don't have to go to this school. I'm a former student, it's been years since I've attended this school and I've graduated college now, but it wasn't in any way thanks to this place. I'm sorry but I've found graduating from this place embarrassing, and having visited the campus recently for all times sakes it doesn't seem like it's changed much, at least physically. Look I'll be fair, I know it's had it rough financially, and I do truly hope that the school as changed for the better and that it's on its way to becoming something legit, because all I remember and now know in retrospect was an interim campus that was inadequate. The kids of Acton deserve better than this, make it happen. My class may have been cheated out of a proper high school we were promised, but maybe future classes can have it.
