I love this school. This is our last year here and it makes me sad. My son has grown tremendously over his 3 years here. There is something here for everyone, clubs, sports and academics. Middle school can be difficult for some, but you can make it great if you get involved.

Monte Vista is awesome. Caring and supportive staff, effective leadership, and multiple opportunities for students.

ugg. what am I supposed to say here. they have all the resources. maybe if I can 'a la carte' this school- take some, leave some. I mean they are taking all the federal money and they offer activities...Overall this district needs an overhaul- someone to come in and clean house and 'mix it up'

Momte Vista is an amazing school with a faculty and staff that go above and beyond every day! There is so much that they offer that no other middle school I have heard of does. They are undergoing an elective Renaissance to offer students opportunities to explore their passions: 21st century writing, ASB, art, coding and robotics, broadcast journalism, and even a junior college level marine biology course for 8th graders! Additionally, they have an agriculture pathway that connects with ACHS ("Cam High")! Teachers give up their lunches to host lunch time clubs giving students a sense of community and belonging. They have an active CJSF chapter and many sports programs!This school does an excellent job of transitioning 5th graders into middle school, and prepping 8th graders for high school! With some many elementary schools adding 6-8 the temptation is to keep them at their k-5 school, but don't do it! Monte Vista is a wonderful place for students! Don't let a few people's sour grapes spoil your opinion of a gem of a school!If you're on the fence, call and schedule a tour. You'll be blown away! Oh, and stop by Mrs. Collins class to see the fish and the farm.I am so thankful Monte Vista is my kid's school!
