My daughter loves this school!! It’s supercute set in the Vista foothills. Great teachers, friendly environment and fun drama program. Not five stars due to the principal(not the friendliest) and cranky noon duties.

I am a former student of Monte Vista, and I'm proud to say I am. Although some of the staff aren't the greatest, they are good at doing their job. They really make each and every student feel valued. Learning here can be really fun, and the whole environment of the school definitely helps with that....

The school works hard to encourage the kids to grow as learners, but also as good human beings. We have had a wonderful experience an...
