At any new opening school, there are always challenges to overcome. As a student at Valley Vista High School, the school is overcoming those challenges with such superior results.

I am an educator at Valley Vista High School and I feel that the quality of students that attend this school are outstanding. This school is growing in school spirit and will continue to grow. Extra-curricular activities are being added yearly. This year the school is opening a huge 1,200 seat theatre.
... Read more This theatre will be the largest theatre in the West Valley. In response to the student's comment regarding NTHS, this is definitely one of our Fine Arts Deparment's goals. New schools take time to grow and expand. This will be our first year to have Seniors at Valley Vista High School. A majority of the teachers have their Masters. My experience at Valley Vista has been extremely positive and I am happy to be a part of Valley Vista's faculty. I love what I do and my students know it.... So, just sit back and watch us grow.

I just recently moved here from another state and I have to tell you-this school does not reach the bar. They don't offer extra curricular activities that most other schools do, allover the teachers are ill equiped and often times not well educated, there also isnt school spirit amungst most students
... Read more because the school doesnt offer most things that they would at other schools. Heck, before I moved here I was in National Thespian Honor Society and was expected to get scholarships for that and couir- Valley Vista doesn't even have a NTHS and they are most likely getting rid of the couir next year. Therefor, I am transferring to another school so that I might be able to get into the college of choice. I would not advise any young person with a desire for college or a good learning experience to attent this school Read less

This school is clean and has a great staff. But it lacks several career classes and honors classes. Since the school is so new the students have absolutely no school spirit. I am a sophmore there and I really don't recommend sending your students to Valley Vista for at least another 5 years.
