Vista Ridge has the most amazing arts program I have ever heard of in Colorado Springs. Well I was in attendance at the school I was apart of yearbook, show choir, theater, and many arts classes. I can saw that each one has the perfect way of reaching students and teaching them to progress in the arts. Well apart of the theater program we were able to win the thespian performance that only two school are able to participate in. I addition the show choir I was in also one first in state, the yearbook team also is a award winning program.

The sports programs definitely have favoritism, like all sports do and fees are quite pricey for a public school. Culture was not as bad last year but there has become more serious problems with the underclassmen making poor decisions and their parents condoning that behavior.
1/8/2024
The experience that I have had at Vista Ridge has been an overall good experience. There haven't been any bad times. There have been many opportunities to get involved and do extracurricular activities. There really isn't anything that I would change about the school.
