Monte Vista is like a family and very welcoming. Academics are great and they do their best to make sure students stay on track.

The Best Parts of My experiences and the worst are connected. It's the limited resources for college readiness. I wish our school did more to prep students for adulthood early on, before they reach their senior year. So that they can make their life decisions early and smoother. Incase they want to go to college they should at least know how colleges work and how to research and prepare for their major or field.

I love going to Monte Vista as the teachers and students are extremely connected to one another as everyone knows who is who. Overall the atmosphere is very connected and is a pretty safe place for people to come to.

Monte Vista has been such a good fit for both of my kids! The honors and AP classes are fascinating and the teachers and staff really care about the students. There is even a mental health support system and a community center available to help families. My kids' sports teams never won championships...

This has been, by far, the worst school experience my child has ever had. The administration consistently fails to protect students who are being bullied and shows a troubling lack of understanding around mental health. Instead of addressing the behavior of documented bullies, the administration rou...
