I think it has been a great experience. Your student can work independently as well as have the opportunity to check in with teachers during the week for class time. Since the school is non traditional there isn't a lot of drama and peer pressure found here. The staff is very supportive and I feel looking out for the best interest of the students.

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!

One of the best schools in the district! All of the teachers here are great they actually care about your education and teach you everything you need to know. My teacher Ms.Kraus prepared me from freshman year about college. She did more than what any public school teacher could ever do. Forever grateful for Vista.

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

Vista High School staff are really great and care about motivating the students to build their self esteem. I am so glad that I discovered Vista because it gave our son the motivation he needed to get his academics back on track!

The teachers thier are far nicer and more respectful then any ather school i ever attended. Keep in mind it is a "independent" high school witch meens that you have to do most your work at home and you show up 1 or 2 times a week to get help and tern in your work. Their are classes you have to show u to thow but they meet only 2 times a week. To get in to this school you have to requast it by name you wont just get thrown their because theirs no were to place you this school has verey few students but they come from all walks of life a benefit to that you can get one on ones with your mane teacher i would suggest this place to any one
