VHS has been named as one of the Washington Post's "America's Most Challenging High Schools.

As principal of Valencia High School, I am proud to share that VHS has been named as one of the Washington Post's "America's Most Challenging High Schools." The ranking of 724 out of 22,000 public high schools puts us in the top 3% of schools in the nation. The ranking is a reflection of the number of AP and IB exams administered and our Equity & Excellence Rate from CollegeBoard. I am proud of our students for challenging themselves with rigorous curriculum and grateful to our teachers who go above and beyond to prepare them for success.
