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.

This school is amazing and a hidden gem. It has a very unique way of teaching students because it is an independent studies school. So, meaning students learn to be more independent and responsible for their work more than a typical highschool. It has very great flexiblity for time and you could be working while going to school. Great staff, great teachers, they are all nice and friendly.

My son got back on track by being a student at Vista. His teacher, Mrs. Druck, was caring, as well as attentive to the needs of my son, and I imagine, her other students. While, he's no longer at Vista, he still keeps in contact with her. She truly made a difference!

Vista High is one of the best educational facilities in the Bay Area. The principle and staff are more than educators for the students, they are family. They have proven to my family that they are willing to go above and beyond to help students succeed. I would have my child attend no other school
