Vista Verde belongs to the Irvine Unified School District but is not a neighborhood school; rather, it is open to all Irvine residents with a preference for Turtle Ridge residents, and is one of four year-round schools in the Irvine district.[1] Academic distinctionsIn 1992, Vista Verde was the highest-scoring school in Orange County, California in the CAP tests.[2] Vista Verde has been recognized multiple times as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.[3][4][5] The school was a pioneer in teaching computer literacy; it bought its first computers for student use as early as 1978, and was introducing students to the internet by 1994.[6] HistoryVista Verde opened in 1974 as an elementary school and later became a magnet school. It was originally located in the University Park neighborhood of Irvine. Rosa Drew Lane, a street in Irvine that passes the former campus site in University Park, is named after Rosa Drew, who had been a teacher at Vista Verde for 30 years.[7] The University Park campus closed and the school moved to the Turtle Ridge campus in 2006.[8][9][10] In 2012, the old Vista Verde School site and buildings were sold to a home builder for $17 million. The company subsequently demolished the old school in late 2012 to make room for new homes.[11][12] References1. ^"First bell sounds for year-round: Four schools start year Wednesday", Orange County Register, July 29, 2004. {{coord|33.6297|-117.8275|region:US_type:edu|display=title}}2. ^{{citation|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1992-12-16/news/mn-2074_1_history-social-science/2|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=December 16, 1992|first=Catherine|last=Gewertz|title=O.C.
