My experience here has been great, good staff/facility , beneficial programs, and activities to do after school. One thing that I could change is to have the opportunity to play sports because most kids here have good talent and could have received scholarships from recruits. One thing that I do enjoy and like is how most of the kids have the opportunity to get dual enrollment, or even attend JTED for free. It is very focused on academics.

Over all Alta Vista is a great school. It is great for it to be a small school and the teachers are great. They truly make you feel like a family and give you one-on-one help if needed. They care about your safety and the education over everything else and they just want you to be successful. The food is not the best, but I believe that no student has ever said that school food is the best food their is, so in my personal opinion it is decent for it being free school food.

Everyday I walk into campus I truly feel welcomed and that is a feeling I just did not get when visiting other schools. Alta Vista cares about every student and ensures they receive the help and care they need.

What made my experience at Alta Vista High School unique was the different clubs and programs, the support, benefits, and opportunities that others and I can obtain. There's a variety of clubs that one can settle into, such as Math League, Mesa Club, and Gaming Club. Programs such as Youth Entrepren...
