Overburden kids with homework after being in school all day long. Not only do they spend all night doing school work, I spend hours explaining it. Teachers really don't care about effort, they cause depression in kids, because they stay up all night just to be graded as though they never did the work. No work/life balance at all.

Cleveland High School has created an unsafe and toxic environment for students, where discipline is enforced unfairly, and serious issues are ignored. In less than a year, my son’s academic record has been severely impacted due to excessive suspensions for minor infractions while the administration fails to address real safety concerns.A prime example of this negligence is when a female student physically attacked my son, cutting his neck open. Instead of ensuring justice, the school suspended my son for defending himself, while the aggressor faced no consequences. Despite this serious incident, the administration never contacted me, highlighting their ongoing failure to communicate with parents.The school consistently punishes my son while ignoring cases of bullying and violence. He has been suspended over six times for reasons including being late, defending himself, and associating with the “wrong” peers. Instead of offering support, the school sent him to the Student Support Center, where he was exposed to students engaged in criminal activity. As a result, he was introduced to drugs and alcohol at just 14 years old—an outcome directly linked to the school’s poor handling of discipline and student placement.In addition to these issues, Cleveland High allows students to run and participate in a group chat called “Rio Playhouse,” which promotes inappropriate and dangerous behavior. Despite this chat being reported to both the school and law enforcement, the students responsible still attend Cleveland High without consequences. This further proves the school’s failure to address harmful student behavior while disproportionately punishing others for lesser offenses.To make matters worse, the principal refuses to meet with parents, leaving us without a voice in a school that claims to prioritize student safety. How are parents expected to trust this administration when they continuously ignore major concerns?While Cleveland High may have a strong sports program, the environment it has created is destructive, unsafe, and poorly managed. As an educator myself, I have never had issues with APS, but Rio Rancho Schools has proven to be the worst district I have encountered. No parent should fear sending their child to school, yet Cleveland High has made that fear a reality.

Our experience at CE has been exceptional. My son has and IEP and a BIP. His whole team has been amazing and he is well supported. If your child needs and IEP, you can be sure CE will provide proper accommodations.
