Opening its doors in 1961, Sierra Vista High is a public high school in Baldwin Park that’s part of the Baldwin Park Unified School District (BPUSD) and located on the same premises as Sierra Vista Middle School. Approximately 440 students graduate from Sierra Vista High each year.
A variety of programs and electives are available to students to aid them in college preparation and social development. Tutoring is available to all pupils, and they can also enroll in AVID to receive additional instructional support and career counseling if they plan to attend college after graduation. Film production and engineering classes are offered to prepare students for careers in these industries and Sierra Vista High works with East San Gabriel ROP to offer internships and coursework in vocations like sports medicine, childcare, graphic arts and more.
Sierra Vista High has both coed athletic programs and sports split by gender. Sports are seasonal and include basketball, soccer, football, cross-country track, wrestling and lacrosse. Aquatic sports like swimming and water polo are offered in the spring, providing options for nearly every interest.
With Baldwin Park being a primarily Spanish-speaking community, a dual language program is available to students who previously participated in the program in a BPUSD middle school or are able to maintain a C grade in their dual language classes.

Sierra Vista High school has been okay in my times while being there. I didn't get to experience my freshman year because of covid so that was a bummer. The rest of my three years were not too bad, there was ups and downs. My favorite part of being there was the sports. I love to play soccer there and the players were amazing teammates. I wish we had more funding or materials like the other sports do but it was still okay.

Sierra Vista High School is a great school. The orchestra and Band teachers are very dedicated to their job and passionate about getting us to learn. The cafeteria food is not good.

I would like there to be more access to IB and AP classes. As well as a wider variety of duel enrollment classes.
