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.

The good things about Mountain Vista are that it has a lot of resources, opportunities, and good teachers. The bad things are that it is WHITE, very cliquey, and has some teachers that are BAD.

Overall my experience with Mountain Vista High School has been poor. They offer an excellent curriculum, however it is masked by its lack of concern and help for students.

overall I enjoyed my time at mountain vista. I think this school excelled in its ability to rally the community around a cause. The best example I can think of is wish week. There is truly no other school that supports this cause as much as vista does. NOt only the school but the entire visit community shows up for our wish kid, doing their best to make their dream come true as well as raising as much money as possible for the make a wish foundation. Its a really amazing thing to see and its something that I will never forget

As a parent of 3 children who have attended and attends Vista, I cannot say enough good things about this school. The administration, academic counselors, and some very devoted teachers are above par. My children have enjoyed this great high school (with the great view) for 7 years and counting. So...

Sent three boys to this school and they enjoyed all aspects of school - academics, athletics and social. Administration is approachable and reactive. Quite honestly you cannot go wrong with any Highlands Ranch school from K-12.
