Mountain Vista High School

Posted August 13, 2009

This year, they have laxed on the rules a little bit more--we have open campus and off periods. I am currently a senior at Vista, and I have had an overall great experience. I couldn't picture myself at Ranch or RC or especially TRidge. This is the place where academics and extracurriculars and faculty are all awesome! You just have to know how to get involved and be active in school. You have to go anyway, you might as well make the best of it!

I just graduated from Vista and I had an awesome experience. The academics were overall very good- the school has tons of AP and Honors classes to choose from. The vast majority of students attend four year colleges, with a large number going out-of-state. The performing arts department is spectacular- band, choir, orchestra, and theater are all very good at Vista. Sports are getting better as the school gets older. Teachers are of course hit and miss, as they are at every school, but I have had some really amazing teachers over the years. You can have a great experience at Vista if you get involved and make it a great experience!

I just graduated high school this year and let me say that it has been the worst 3 and a half years of my life. The lunches were terrible that I can barely eat anything without feeling sick to my stomach, the Teachers and the Faculty doesn't care about their students as they treat them like children and don't even care about the student's problems such as Homework and their difficulties while being in school, I had to change my appointment with my counselor more than 3 times in order to see her as she never followed the schedule, and worst of all I've been harassed by the other students and none of teachers done anything about it! I was so miserable in that school that I had to move somewhere else to go to a better school where they actually care about the students.

In terms of academics, I rated the school 5 stars as that's what I deem as the most important. It has many advance courses to choose from and many of the teachers are well educated. Even the equipment is advanced. Overall, I've learned so much that I would label MVHS as a prep school -- even though it's not private at all. On the other side, I agree with the others about the strictness of the administration. They really need to calm down. Additionally,, the art department recieves no where near as much attention as sports do. It's unfair if you ask me.
