History

{{Unreferenced section|date=December 2014}}

Crescenta Valley High School holds a key foundation in the city of La Crescenta's roots. CV normally scores very high in California standardized testing, attracting a very diverse community to what was once a very small white suburb of Los Angeles, CA.

The school itself has a much tighter community of kids than other public schools in Southern California. La Crescenta has only one Middle School (Rosemont Middle School) and one public high school. Clark Magnet High School is also located in the CV area, though most of the students attending are bused from south Glendale. Those wishing to access a higher learning curve in the math and sciences tend to go to Clark.

Those attracted to higher Music and Arts learning prefer to attend CV, as Crescenta Valley High have an abnormal amount of Hollywood-industry families that have come through the school because of its location near Hollywood. Also, CVHS is a popular location for families of JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratories, NASA).

On average, Crescenta Valley High School has 80-90% of their students attending college after graduating. Their sister school across town, La Canada High School, averages 99–100% graduate to college rate. Both schools together form one of the strongest public academic geographical regions in the entire Southern California area.

US News ranks Crescenta Valley High School #80 in CA (La Canada High School is ranked #39) in 2013. Both schools are the highest in their respective school districts (Glendale Unified School District and La Canada Unified School District).

Miscellaneous history

{{Unreferenced section|date=December 2014}}

A section of the east wing of the school was badly damaged in the Sylmar earthquake of February 9, 1971, and had to be razed.

Jim Morrison and The Doors once played at Crescenta Valley High School in 1967. Jim defaced the wall in the original gymnasium but it was repainted shortly after. Earlier that same "school year" the student council pulled-off a major coup by booking the then already popular group The Association. The Association concert was very successful as the band cranked out their current chart hits as well as several yet-to-be released tracks.
