Three Moreno Valley High Schools

Moreno Valley, Calif. - Moreno Valley Unified School District has three schools that earned honors as “Best” high schools in U.S. News & World Report’s 2023 Best High Schools rankings, which were published Aug. 29:

  • Canyon Springs High School 

  • Valley View High School

  • Vista Del Lago High School

U.S. News 2023 Best High Schools numerically ranked nearly 18,000 schools nationwide this year. Schools with a national rank in the top 40% (#7,072 or better) achieved status as “Best” high schools. 

“Our district’s mission is to provide an equitable education for all students to be prepared for college and/or a viable career path for a successful life,” said Moreno Valley Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Martinrex Kedziora. “All of our schools offer incredible opportunities for our students, but I am especially proud of these three schools for their efforts that qualified them to be recognized as part of the best high schools in the nation.”

The Best High Schools rankings, available online only, are produced in conjunction with RTI International, a global research firm. U.S. News doesn’t collect data directly from high schools – all data comes directly from official third-party sources. U.S. News receives AP and IB data directly from the College Board and International Baccalaureate, respectively, for use in the rankings. The state assessment data and graduation rates are from each state, and other data comes from the U.S. Department of Education Common Core of Data.

There were 2,613 schools from California that were considered across 25,000 schools nationwide. Only 1,536 schools in California made the rankings.

“It is such an honor for our schools to be recognized as top high schools in the nation,” said School Board President Susan Smith. “This distinction serves as a reminder to all that we continue to do our part in preparing our students for a successful future.”
