Throughout my years in Rancho Buena Vista, there had been many wonderful experiences, getting to connect with many other fellow students, teachers, and staff. For me, the best part in school was getting to create pieces of art that I am proud of, and improve upon my skills of interest. Change I would be proud to see is students getting a longer lunch for rest, in hopes to see the improvement in student's interest in education.

I am currently an incoming senior. my expirence at rancho buena vista high school have been nothing but a development in my growth and helped me get through the hardest times by seeing others smile and teachers support me. The opportunities and academic enrichments I have been able to do my last school year really changed my perspective and make me wanna do more. it is a shcool like any regular school. Yes there has been issues with all over shcool and accidents and occasions but they always get resolved and throughly talked about. There has been hard times where I haven't been able to reach the right people but with time you really can be so much greater and get so many opportunities. One thing I would change is the communication and the look on students and how we can change and grow for the better. I truly thank this school and being my last year to come I can't say how much u have learned and thank every single person that helped me get through the academics mentally and physically

Rancho Buena Vista is overall a good school as far as academics go. Most teachers are competent and care about their students, but I've had two or three that simply don't. As far as school safety and culture goes, there could definitely be improvements, but the same is true of any high school. I would recommend RBV over other schools in the area, but I do think the school needs funding to improve on facilities and hire more teachers to reduce class sizes, since most classes have at least 30 students to one teacher.

I am a junior this year and I love going to Rancho. I like most of the teachers. I play football. We're not good but it's still fun. There are some weirdos here but I am sure every school has a few weirdos.

I feel the need to write this review because of the bad reputation this school has. Keep in mind as you read my review, I work in education and have worked for a few of the surrounding high schools in north county for the last 15 years, so I have some real knowledge of what goes in all these high sc...

I'm going to be a senior next grade year, my overall 3 years of attending this school have been horrible. One thing about this school is I cant use the bathroom without having 10 - 20 "students" smoking/vaping then staring at you like you interrupted their "smoke sesh". And on the off chance of that...

My daughter is a freshman this year and so far she's really enjoyed her time at RBV. I feel this school is making a lot of positive changes - It seems campus security has recently made a bigger effort in getting the school cleaned up, the sports program and sports teams are on the rise, and there ar...
