Verdugo is a amazing school. it offers a good amount of classes, and all of the teachers are very caring and helpful. I have learned so much from that school, not only scholastically, but also many life lessons. it's a top choice school.

Verdugo Hills High School is a lovely old high school taught by caring teachers. With 2,500 students it is one on the smaller LAUSD high schools. We have a coperican schedule which is like a university quarter system. Most classes are two quarters long. Classes meet 90 minutes everyday giving teachers time to cover necessay material. Our attendance is one of the very best in the district because both teachers and students are happy with the schedule and atmosphere at Verdugo.
