GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Good school, great area. Some teachers are better than others. Lots of support but you have to find it.

The people I met and the teachers who helped me get where I am today are the best things that ever happened to me. This school has anything and everything you could want. Want to build stuff? We have robotics and an architect class. Want to draw, multiple levels of art classes. From sports to the arts to education, this school has it all. I'm very happy to say that my younger sister is now a freshman at BVH, and I can't wait to see her thrive. I do wish, however, that the school was a little more green. More plants and bushes would be so much better, compared to the dirt and cement that are there currently.

At Bonita Vista High School I am able to meet a lot of new and different people everyday. There are many things for me to participate in and try out depending on my interests. There are also many great teachers that help you learn very well. I would like to see a change in parent engagement though within the school as it cannot really be seen by the students.

I’ll be graduating this June and I can say that I’m so glad I went BVHS. It’s bar the best school in the district. I’m in the IB program so the rigor stood out to me to most. It’s a school that offers its students what they like. Whether it’s sports, or theater, choir, speech and debate, mock trial;...
