I have 2 students who are attending Piedra Vista High School and my husband and I are both so happy with the school staff and programs. The school is clean, safe and is focused on the students success. When we moved to Farmington we had done alot of research about the school district and we chose to move into PVHS' school zone so that are children will be well prepared for college. We love Piedra Vista High School. Close Quote
