The best parts of this school was the time spent in extracurriculars and the time and bond created within the staff and teachers. I wish that more students get involved in the sports and events and activities the schools offer.

I had a fairly good experience at Norte Vista high school, I was a student who was involved in sports, clubs and college readiness programs. The worst part was some teachers I had but regardless I made the most out of it.

doesn't prioritize their student's mental health as they kick kids out of counseling at the beginning of the year and promise them that they will be back in with the hiring of new counselors but these "new counselors" never came and now its the end of the year.
