Buena Vista High School first became WASC accredited in 1997. Each time we have gone through the self-study process, we have received a 6-year accreditation with a 3-year visit.
Established in 1968 to meet the unique needs of students who were experiencing difficulties at the comprehensive high schools, Buena Vista has the same graduation requirements as the other high schools in the district and follows the same state and district standards for each course offered.  Many students and parents have chosen Buena Vista due to its small size and the opportunity to recover credits rapidly. We provide each student with a meaningful school experience, a rich core curriculum, and a smooth transition to post-secondary education and/or employment.
