Monte Vista was basically a 'choose your own fate' type of school. The school's staff does a great job of keeping you safe so long as you keep yourself safe--it's really great practice for the real world. In the same sense, classes can either be challenging and get you into a good college, or easy.

Mvhs has gone downhill. The buildings are old. The teachers dont get much time to teach because the kids are so bad! The only good thing is their football, h20 polo and wrestling. It is a scary school to go to now.
