Chamisa has great teachers and a wonderful community. However, I found the school/teacher to parent communication really lacking. The school and staff assume you already know everything. I have to ask fellow parents for information all the time or I find out events/etc. from other parents first.

I see progress toward a more inclusive school. The teachers are very good.

I have been enrolled within the laschools district for approximately 10 years and actually have felt very comfortable and confident in the schools till 2022. I do not recommend attending this high school or the corresponding middle school. However, previously a virtual option to attend was available, I am no longer aware if this is an option as the school website is not functioning for the topper virtual academy category. If this option is available, I recommend that as in previous years I've felt very comfortable in the online school. Additionally, this review is based off as a student how I feel and certain aspects may be the NMPED responsibility. I also don't like that my choices are being dictated such as how sick I should be to not come to school. This is an actual instance because there is a policy called "little sick, big sick" and lists symptoms when you "should" still come to school such as vomit, etc. Additionally, this year I am a freshmen at the Los Alamos High School and I was added to the Algebra 2 class but I did not have any credits for previous math high school credits and I was switched almost one month away from the end of the semester and have been expected to finish a whole semester of work within this time frame or receive an F. I've felt very disregarded at this school as for as how I feel and feel similar to just an item being moved from class to class with no regard whatsoever how I feel as far as the amount of work, etc. I am not the only person who has gone through this either as my brother who also attends the Los Alamos High School also had an inaccurate schedule. I also feel that the school is not very connected and that it feels less of a community. I also feel that certain concepts are being pushed that conflict with personal beliefs. I feel that there are a significant amount of issues regarding the care of students as well as the teachers. I have more issues with this school too but there is a maximum of characters on the review. Please try to avoid this school and look elsewhere or try to enroll in the online school if available.
