We have a wonderful school community - dedicated teachers and staff, eager students and committed parents. We also have a beautiful campus in the East Bay hills in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Mira Vista has a very diverse population where students of all backgrounds can feel comfortable learning and socializing amongst their peers. The teachers are dedicated and the parents are involved. I chose to transfer in to Mira Vista and have two of my kids there currently. However, since the school does not qualify for Title 1 status, we receive a pitiful amount of funding from the WCCUSD and struggle just to provide everyday supplies. Many fundraising efforts take place each year but the district needs to do more to help this school serve students effectively.

Mira Vista , the little school up in the hills was once and still is one of the better community schools. I agree with most of what's said here . Wonderful parents keep our library open 4 days a week. We need more volunteers and we need a wake up call to the parents with attitude problems. Mostly this appears in the parking lot. Horn honking, illegal parking, loud radios, swearing (come on parents! knock that off). This is not a north richmond school , this is our little school on the hillside have more respect for us and our community school. Act like an adult and set a good example for your child. Mira Vista was once and still is a wonderful school. Lets get rid of the 'ghetto' attitude and behave like responsible respectful adults so our children will too.

I recommend Mira Vista. My daughter went here for all 6 years and I have been extremely happy with all of her teachers. They just redid the parking lot to be more safe, as well as the recess play area. I would like there to be more activities on the 6th grade level, perhaps setting aside one half of the upper section dedicated to the 6th graders, as they are much older and mature now adays than in the past. They need to be prepared for middle school as it is such a big change. We need more parent volunteers, so please help out! The library alone is run by parents, so make a difference and help out your school!

Mira Vista is an awesome school with some of the most wonderful teachers ever. The school tries its hardest with the limited funds, but parent participation is pretty good, with some room for improvement. We have a library (with parent volunteers!), computer lab, music, science (starting from 4th grade) and a nice 'community' feeling to it. What it does need is art and less emphasis on the standardized testing. Give the teachers some freedom to use their own creativity.. Although I think this is a WCCCSD thing, not necessarily Mira Vista. Parents need to give a wee bit more, but I've grown fond of the many parents whom I have met over the years at Mira Vista who continually are always around and helping out as much as they can! 'Mira Vista Rocks!'

Mira Vista Elementary and Mrs. Brown Garcia is topnotch. As the grandmother of a handicapped child the faculty invovled with him have gone above and beyond to make sure that he has what he needs to excel and to be a productive adult. Mrs. Evans had him put in the regular classroom instead of the Special Education classes and because of her and Mrs. Brown Garcia and her staff is doing well. God Bless them for caring about the children in their care. I believe if asked Mrs. Brown Garcia can tell you about the personalites of each child. She and her staff are a God send. Their should be more like her.
