Horrible. My kids dont get the help needed when bullied or physically assaulted by other kids, if the school doesn't see it they do nothing. Out of the 3 yrs they've been going only 1 teacher knew how to run a classroom, the other 2 gave referrals for taking longer then 2 min to use the bathroom, and yelld at my child for messing around in class when he was doubled over crying in pain because the wind was knocked out of him. The teacher had no idea what was going on, the class had to yell back at the teacher that my child was injured and crying.

This school is extremely lacking in administration that cares about its students. They do not care about parent concerns. Special Education services are a joke. Teachers can behave however they'd like as they know that the administration will not discipline them. Traffic patterns and dress code for females is the administration's main concern. Do your child and yourself a favor and send them elsewhere. Notice that their Google reviews are set so that you can't read or leave reviews.

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.
