"After teaching for more than 20 years, I can tell you that dress code makes a difference. Students focus on learning and are less distracted. The teachers and staff work hard to make a difference on paper and in student's education. If dress code is upsetting, there a many other non-dress code schools nearby."

"There is way too much emphasis on the 'mandatory' dress code which every parent should be told that they have the legal right to opt out of. School is about teaching kids not about automating them. They need to learn how to make proper decisions including appropriate dress, and what books they want to read. New Vista is too concerned about test scores (which are pathetically low) and how to make them look better on paper. The root problem is not whether someone's pants are faded but rather why 7th graders can't read at even a 5th grade level."

"I work at NVMS, as a first year teacher coming from 1st grade, teaching middle school was an eye opener and challenging this year. I thought it would be horrible, after hearing bad things. However, most of the kids there are good kids just trying to figure themselves out. They are in middle school, hormones change daily as do behavior and the desire to do work. Most days are really good. The staff works together for the best interest of all students. The administrators also look at for all children, that is our job. We as teachers, as a staff, are there for the kids. It is a good school no matter what anyone says."

"We just moved in two years ago and coming from a private school, I really like the way they teach my kids here. Being of different nationality I was scared that they might be out of place. But kids here are very nice. My children are safe here at NVMS. Angelica Saromo"

"I find that New Vista Middle School is a great place for a child go. The principal and the teachers all work together in order for the students to meet every requirement necessary. The school is very clean and pleasent. Both of my sons have gone to this school and another is on his way."
