I think this is one of the great schools around the town.
Vista Ridge is vastly under-rated school in my opinion. Academically, it may not be on par with Westwood/Westlake, but then again it has won the Austin Regional Science Fair in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vista_Ridge_High_School#Science). My kid is thinking about a business or law career, and is very impressed by classes like DECA (Business) and Debate; the students in these have reached/won state/national recognition.

Like any school, there are good teachers and bad teachers, some that give it their all, and others there to punch a clock. My biggest gripe is with the administration and the coach teachers. On a student tour, the Principal himself said the artistic-photography/art class area of the school was the "freak" area. Should give you a very good idea of his priorities. It's all sports all the time--something my students say impact their education--that their teachers that are coaches aren't as committed to educating them as they are to their teams. For students who want to learn and excel, it's always very disappointing.
