Vista Middle School
My first year of vista middle school was a start of a lot of firsts to tell you the truth, but my opinion for the school to go both ways. It has great teachers, one in particular that helped me get a F up to a B- in one week that meant 22 assignments in 3 day weekend. This school could still be improved in multiple ways but it can be handled for my last year here.
