"The school helps prepare you for college despite some peoples opinions. I went to New Vista for all four years of my high school education and now I am a successful college student and so are many of my friends. The school prepares a student for the creative thinking needed in college and most of all it shows a student how to be in charge of their education. The student receives help and guidance, from a great group of teachers, on what classes to take, which colleges and scholarships to apply to, along with problems that many teenagers encounter in this time of their life. The classes create a creative and intellectual learning environment, which especially helps out now in college. Check it out. Call them up or checkout their website. It is a great friendly atmosphere so don't be shy!"

"I attended another high school for my freshman year and found that transferring to New Vista kept me out of drugs and behaviors like smoking and partying, where at my old school I was harassed for not taking part in such activities. If you want more information about this school I suggest visiting the website and/or contacting the school yourself, so that you may form your own opinion of the school. http://bvsd.org/high/newVista/Pages/newvista.aspx"

"This school should be seen as a "last resort" school if your child has been unable to succeed at another high school. Yes, the learning here is more "hand-on" but the overall education is a joke. If your child is planning on attending college, this school will leave him or her VERY underprepared."

"They actually engage students in learning. It is set up for students to be successful by making students partners with adults, responsible for their own learning, lots of choices for learning about subjects that students are interested in."

"My twin daughters have thrived at this school with the loving and genuine concern of their advisors and many of their teachers. My only concern is that the school still strongly enforces the need for kids to be involved in the CSAP high stakes testing process which as many of the great educators know is damaging to students. Aside from that, I would highly recommend this school to parents with kids who are outside of the mainstream cheerleader/athlete 'popular' kid, designer clothes range. Kids who are thinkers, who have been raised to have a social conscience, or who are artisic are welcomed and nourished at this school. I highly recommend it. S."
