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.

I attenteded Sierra Vista all four years of my highschool life, and to say the least it was some of the most fun four years ever. From the succsessful sport teams in basketball, baseball and track to the academics. The enviorment is fun and safe. The only downfall is that there is not much school spirit. Teachers and staff make great attempts at bringing students into an enviorment that they will enjoy.

The best experiences I had at Sierra Vista was when I was playing baseball. The worst parts of my experiences at Sierra Vista had to be the classrooms, bathrooms, and overall school environment. I would like for some of the teachers to put more effort into helping student. I would also like to see the bathrooms be cleaner. Should have a clean school overall but Sierra Vista High School is not a very clean school.

This is a decent school. I can't speak for everyone, but all the staff members I've met have been either very friendly and understanding, or stern, but in an effective and necessary way (the kids can get very rowdy). However, in the time I've been here, I have heard about so many fights I can't even...
