I went to this school maybe over 15 years ago so, I know it has done nothing but get better over time. I had the most wonderful experience there. The teachers were patient, the campus was beautiful & extremely clean. Today, I still talk to some friends that I attended this great school with. As a parent, I would recommend this school to your children. I am sad I don't live in Moreno Valley anymore. I would love to send my own son to Vista Heights. As a student I remember the curriculum was great!
