Sixteen years ago Alta Vista was started in the basement of church by the current superintendent, Gilbert Guerrero and the Guadalupe Center. In 1990 Alta Vista became a charter school sponsored by the University of Central Missouri. Over the years Alta Vista has become a safe place for students to attend and graduate high school. In more recent years, Alta Vista has turned its focus to preparing students for college and the work force. Last year the high school outperformed all of the urban schools and all of the suburban schools except for one in Mathematics.
The high school has met Annual Yearly Progress(AYP) for the past two years in Communication Arts and Math and because of this success the middle school was opened in 2010.
A decision was made to open Academia de Niños because there is a need for more high performing grade schools in Kansas City. As a group of educators we know that the earlier we are able to intervene on academic and social development the more successful school years become for students. On a more sentimental note, opening this school has been a dream for many members of the Guadalupe Education System
