Vista Middle School is an amazing place! I would highly recommend their Music Technology Magnet Program. The kids enrolled join band, choir or orchestra and are the only ones in the LCPS district to take a Music Technology class. The students learn music theory, how to compose their own music, create music videos and even have access to a state of the art recording booth. The teachers and staff are dedicated to the students and provide them with an excellent education. The MESA, Science Olympiad and Alternative Fuels teams are tops in the city, region and state with amazing Science teachers as their coaches. The school puts on a musical performance each Spring with an opportunity for EVERY student interested to be involved in the performance. Vista is an amazing place for middle schoolers!
