MOUNTAIN VISTA HIGH SCHOOL

Mountain Vista High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Madera Unified school district, located in Madera, CA with about 164 students offering grade levels from 10th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
