Mountain View High School

Advertising Information for besthousingvalue


High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
 
Mountain View High School, MVHS or just MV, one of two Mountain View-Los Altos Union High School District public high schools, is located in Mountain View, California. The school sent 92 percent of its of graduates to post-secondary schools in the graduating class of 2005. Newsweek ranked Mountain View High School as the 291st best high school in the nation in 2005. The school colors are gold and black and the mascot is the Spartan. The student newspaper is called The Oracle.
 
Before 1982 the school was named Chester F Awalt High school. When the district closed the original Mountain View High School, it renamed Awalt High as Mountain View High, since it was the only district high school in Mountain View. Mountain View High School has the highest possible Academic Performance Index; this is the Californian system for measuring school proficiency. Each year, the school produces several dozen National Merit Scholars. 70 percent of MVHS students passed their AP, Advanced Placement exams last year. While the school has almost 1,800 students, it was not designed to serve that many.

Mountain View High School is a high school with a personalized learning environment, which includes small learning communities where teachers and students integrate academic and occupational classes as a way to enhance real world relevance and still maintain high academic standards.
