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.

Vista is a great school I went there for 7th grade and 8th grade as when I started middle school it was only two years and not three. My favorite parts were when I got to play soccer for the school, first period Math with Mr. Freeman in the 8th grade, and being able to be a teacher's assistant in the library 2nd period in the 8th grade. It was a blast having Mr. Freeman as a teacher he is one of my favorites.
