GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My time at Park Vista High School was memorable and sets you up for success, no matter the path you decide to take after high school.

My time at Park Vista was generally okay. I had great teachers and had an easy time making friends. My only real issue was with the school food and guidance, but overall it was a fun and educational high school experience. I learned valuable information and felt fully prepared for college by the end of my senior year, and the school assisted with the college admission process as much as they could.

Have had a horrible experience at park vista. The school cannot control the students due to the massive population. They allow all 3000 plus students to eat lunch together and it’s a mess. There is a great deal of bullying that is not reported, fights not reported and the reputation of park vista be...
