Magna vista is a great school academically wise, as they offer programs where you can take college level classes in high school. However, some of the teachers are not the greatest, but that comes with every school.

My experience at Magna Vista has been full of the good and the bad. The best parts have been meeting my friends and having the ability to earn my associate's degree in math and science. The worst has been the aggressive bullying that has caused people to take tragically their lives.

Magna Vista High School has been my home for the past four years and with those years there have been many good and bad experiences. The best part of my high school experience has been the senior prom and getting ready for my senior walk. I got to go to prom with my boyfriend and the prom environment was amazing. This school has provided me with experiences I could not receive from anywhere else.
