As a student, I feel like I got the best out of every class taught at New Vista. The teachers truly cared about my health and safety throughout my first 2 years. The school is welcoming to all academic accommodations, and by the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year, they will hopefully have a new building to keep their students in.

The teachers are outstanding and caring. They are very helpful and act like friends and teachers. The students are alright. Everyone vapes in the bathroom so it sucks when you're pooping and all you smell is cotton candy.

My daughter attended New Vista for 11th and 12th grades. My son is a freshman there. I have nothing but high praise for New Vista, its teachers and curriculum. Contrary to popular (uninformed) beliefs about New Vista, students ARE well prepared for college. Students ARE encouraged to take classes an...
