I am a sophomore at Monte Vista High. As a minority, I find that racism is not a big issue.

There are many different clubs and organizations. Overall, it's a great school Read less

School's administrators - some are wonderful, some are trying to earn their stripes and it shows.

MV is very much glorified, and all to often the school does not live up to its expectations.

The sports programs are fantastic, the speech and debate team is one of the best out of San Fransisco. The students are also very clean cut and are well off. There has been issues about too many students at the school but that is because of the new development in Windemere but they are opening a new high school which will reduce the number of lowerclassmen. I hands down reccomend this school. Read less
