I'm very happy with the wide variety of academic and extracurricular opportunities at my school. There are many AP and elective courses in STEM, helping prepare one for further study in college, but there's also lots of sports, arts, and humanities too. We have many strong sports, a great marching band, a thriving student newspaper, and more. MVHS offers dual enrollment in Freestyle Academy for juniors and seniors looking to study art in depth. Even students who just want to try things out have many opportunities and lots of support in doing so, with lots of clubs and low-commitment electives. We have pretty amazing facilities and helpful teachers and staff. Also, our College and Career center is very helpful in learning about paths after HS, and we have lots of resources to pursue that.
My experience at Mountain View High School was overall very good. The school has many opportunities for students to get involved in activities outside of class that interest them in a variety of avenues whether that is academically, athletically, or recreationally. Overall, the teachers are very invested in helping their students be successful, but if a student really wants to perform exceptionally they will have to take the initiative to get help from their teachers or peer tutors when needed. The culture at Mountain View High School is very academically competitive which can be both an upside or downside for some students.
Everyone is so nice and welcoming! The teachers teacher great! Not too much homework. I highly recommend coming here!
