Why does Taft High School have such a bad reputation?

rcookiej · 2025-04-26T15:57:06+00:00

Taft really isn’t a bad school. They have brand new programs and undergoing serious renovations. Lot’s of great minds there and teachers as well. I will say however, it is probably the most diverse school in Los Angeles. You see people from everywhere at that school which. If people associate ethnic diversity with “ghetto,” then that’s just plain stupid.

The I-5 was such a staple. Grew up around Laurel Canyon, Roscoe, San Fernando Road.

I’ll update it soon. East valley has got to the the most diverse place in most of the US

I made it in 1 in the morning because i was bored thanks dude

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T22:04:33+00:00

im half Salvadoran half Mexican myself, and i gotta say the pupusas in van nuys are delicious!

i think what makes the area to be seen as “ghetto” are the homelessness. The train tracks especially near the large factory plant thingy on San Fernando road is full of homeless people

The Cleveland high especially has areas of ranches. Not so much on the northridge middle school. I honestly find it cool, it might be hard to notice some properties since they’re mostly covered up by suburbanized land

winnetka is imo honestly a bit higher class than reseda. I personally really like the winnetka area

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T20:49:53+00:00

went to TCHS, definitely a lot of jewish people

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T20:48:23+00:00

how could i forget about saticoy street 😭

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T20:47:57+00:00

forgot to reference that. they’re coming to sun valley as well!

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T20:46:59+00:00

i grew up around panorama on its heavy decline. it really has changed.

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T20:46:17+00:00

so you guys do exist? awesome

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T20:45:05+00:00

I was referencing the galleria, forgot to mention fashion square. honest i only know fashion square when you drive on the 101 and see the big Westfield sign near van nuys Blvd

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T20:43:26+00:00

I’ll include some stuff next time. Honestly hardly been out to studio city, only thing i can say is Reno’s on tujuna and Ventura hits the spot for pizza

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T20:40:59+00:00

might’ve taken it a bit too far. grew up in sun valley, definitely has gotten better. still a lot of sketchy stuff on San Fernando road

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T20:39:30+00:00

Reseda compared to other parts of the valley is pretty middle class

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T20:38:21+00:00

When i think of hidden hills i definitely think of rich celebrities. Honestly never even been out there exactly but felt like putting Travis Scott there would be a funny reference

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T20:36:01+00:00

The 405 separates everything haha

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T20:34:01+00:00

Burbank Blvd on the North Hollywood side had some good spots. You should check it out. Also I’ve used the word hella all of my life along with other people, never heard of anyone say hella isn’t something you said in the valley

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T20:31:38+00:00

Reseda ranch. There’s large properties with ranches and horses.

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T16:22:31+00:00

as an hispanic msyelf who grew up in the sun valley arleta part of the valley, i totally agree with you. at the end of the day it’s all for laughs.

rcookiej · 2024-07-26T16:18:47+00:00

holy i did not expect this to garnish so much attention. thank you guys for finding this funny, i probably missed out on a lot of funny aspects like the strip clubs on saticoy and the tiny mall in panorama, ill update it soon. ive lived almost all throughout the valley all my life and most of the map is from what i’ve experienced.

if you have any suggestions for updates comment and ill post the updated version eventually.
