Summary

Monte Vista High is a large, high-performing public high school serving grades 9-12 with about 2,042 students in Danville, CA, and is a cornerstone of the highly-regarded San Ramon Valley Unified school district.

The school consistently ranks in the top 3-4% of California high schools, boasting a near-perfect 98.7% graduation rate and exceptionally low chronic absenteeism. It shows balanced academic strength, particularly in English, and stands out for its remarkably effective support for economically disadvantaged students, ranking even higher for this group than it does overall. While its math scores are solid and above state averages, they are a relative area for improvement compared to some district peers like Dougherty Valley High.

Monte Vista's success is part of a district-wide trend of excellence, with all comprehensive high schools in San Ramon Valley Unified performing very well. However, it distinguishes itself from nearby schools in other districts, such as Northgate High or Las Lomas High, with its higher statewide ranking and consistent top-tier performance across diverse student groups, including Hispanic students and those in special education.
