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.

I like that Vista Academy, despite it's challenges, also challenges me. I have been attending Vista since my freshman year of high school. From that point, I can say that every teacher, whether I had them or not, has been very supportive of me and the decisions I make. They all are as invested as I am in my future. I wish that we could bring more resources to this school because that way we can be more connected to other students and have a greater impact.
