They hid a dei study assignment with a vague names of general studies. It was one assignment I asked about. It was something on identity. It was they only assignment i caught at the beginning of the school year. They exclude parents from an event called "chella" they hold. Im a little worried about how theyll entertain my child with quote "no parents allowed". In my experience they do everything in their power to limit liability and I personally dont feel they have actual academic priorities. That being said, my child has shown a 4.0 gpa there. Hes naturally very smart. They definitely need more classes aimed at actual life skills after school. Tradework. Finance. Laws. Arts are good and fine but not part of the bigger picture for a successful professional field. They also championed bill gates so that is scary.

Terrible. I chose to move schools from Southwest at a soulless attempt to have art curriculums in my transcript to get an extra grip onto art colleges, but that very small portion of my academic experience was simply not enough of an improvement from my previous school (Southwest High). This school will not support you academically. Teachers do not care about the success of students. They do not push you/challenge your skills, and very little basic skills you will need in college are not learned or reviewed. They are lazy in helping you surpass your present skills and attitude, but persuade you into wasting hours on doing 8th grade work and later ambushing you with complex assignments with 0 previous practice, assuming you know how to write academically, etc. It’s unfortunate how I, a sophomore in the school have to take my own time into researching and studying things that were not taught to me just to surpass freshmen level work. As a former Southwest High honors student, I saw such a sharp dip in teachers positive behavior. Almost every teacher here does not care about your future, and you will suffer from their lack of responsibility of being a good teacher. I would say it’s laughable how many teachers are unfit for teaching, except they made my mental health deteriorate and was the last straw for me needing a therapist. This is not just a single experience of a child trying to fit into a completely foreign environment, multiple people feel the exact same emptiness of spirit and, well, happiness in the school. Unless you fit in with a subgroup of students your an outcast destined for failure unless YOU do something about learning simple college skills. Southwest High School juxtaposes the spirit so vividly. I don’t mean to promote Southwest, but I will take into account how amazing that school is and felt. It is like a piece of home, you will enjoy being there, because the staff CARES about you, something Chula Vista wished they had. I have broken down 7 times from teachers mistreating me and the amount of stress I have been put under just thinking about the lessons I have missed due to the teacher negligence. Don’t let the infrastructure fool you, it is what you call “hallow in the inside”.

The teachers and staff at this school are dedicated and they genuinely care about the success and well-being of their students. The school offers a well rounded curriculum and plenty of opportunities for enrichment. The community here is also very supportive, with active parent involvement and a welcoming atmosphere. The school prioritizes safety and a positive and inclusive environment for all the students to feel valued and respected. Vista Square is definitely a wonderful place for young learners to grow and develop.
