Ulysses S. Grant Senior High

Tucked into the heart of Van Nuys, Grant High has a long history in the San Fernando Valley and draws from one of LA's most culturally diverse neighborhoods — a mix of working families, longtime residents, and newcomers who all call this busy corner of the city home. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with English and Math scores that edge above average, making it a reasonable fit for families looking for a comprehensive public high school with real community roots. Van Nuys itself is gritty and vibrant in equal measure, well-connected by transit and close to everything the Valley has to offer, so students here get both a neighborhood school experience and easy access to the broader city.
