Capistrano Valley High School (often called CVHS or Capo) is a public high school at the southern border of Mission Viejo, California, USA, that is run by the Capistrano Unified School District. It is set on a hilltop overlooking the San Diego Freeway (I-5) corridor and Saddleback Mountain. It is located on Via Escolar, off the Avery exit of the I-5. The school attendance boundaries primarily serve students from eastern, southern and northern Mission Viejo (the entire portion of the city in CUSD) and a small northern portion of San Juan Capistrano.
CVHS is a California Distinguished School,[2] National Blue Ribbon Finalist,[2] and was ranked as number 488 in Newsweek's 2008 list of the top 1,300 high schools in the USA.[3] By this standard, CVHS falls in the top 2.5% of US high schools.[4] It is the highest ranked for the school district and second highest rank between both Saddleback Valley and Capistrano Unified that serve south Orange County.
