Los Angeles Unified School District: District 2. The school is home to a Residential Program and three Magnet school:

History
Van Nuys High School opened in 1915 .
The
Los Angeles Unified School District ordered Van Nuys High School to convert to year-round scheduling in 2001 due to reasons such as overcrowding. Even though it relieved the overcrowding of Van Nuys High School, the Magnet Programs separated tracks, along with the residential students. The Performing Arts Magnet and the Medical Magnet were only available on the A-Track Schedule, while the Math and Science Magnet was only available on the C-Track Schedule. B-Trackers could not take the same classes as C-Trackers, while C-Trackers could only take certain A-Track classes. Teachers that had both A-Track and C-Track students were frustrated because the curriculum had to be synchronized with both tracks.
Van Nuys High School returned to the Traditional School Year in 2005. It caused Van Nuys High School to be even more overcrowded.
The opening of Panorama High School in October 2006 relieved overcrowding at Van Nuys High School.
Van Nuys High School is also home to one of the best instrumental music programs in all of LAUSD. The VNHS Marching Band won the LAUSD Championships several times including a three year streak. Their concert band has always been given the "superior" marking at festivals. Other than being home to these two amazing groups, Van Nuys High School is also home to these wonderful and amazing musical emsembles: the Sinfonietta, Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Combo (the only student organized group), Brass Ensemble, woodwind chamber groups and the VNHS Vannaires (choral ensemble). It is also home of one of the few organs installed in LAUSD.
Van Nuys Community Adult School
The Adult School is on the same campus as Van Nuys High School. It allows adults as well as high school students to take classes. Most Van Nuys High School students take courses in the Adult School for academic remediation. However, some take classes for Counselor-Identified High School Credit Deficiencies, while others take classes for personal necessities of flexible scheduling.
The Adult School is considered a work-at-your-own-pace program. A student can finish an entire course in just 2-3 weeks, but can take longer depending on the work effort of the student.
Courses in the Adult School can be used by a student to fulfill requirements for a high school diploma and even college requirements. Courses provided include High School English, Math classes varying from Basic Math to Geometry B, Social Sciences, Sciences, Fine Arts, Basic Reading and Language Arts, and several electives to choose from. However, Sciences such as General Science/Integrated 1 and 3, Biology/Life Science, and Physical Science do not meet the University of California laboratory science requirements.
Notable alumni

Fairfax High School (Los Angeles) and Hollywood High School, Van Nuys High School, especially the Performing Arts Magnet, has been a breeding ground for Hollywood talent over the years. There have been hundreds of famous graduates of Van Nuys High School, including:
