My experience at the school was horrific. Throughout my tenure there I was enrolled in pre-college classes. After graduation and the real world hit me I was so incredibly angry at the lack of preparation I received. I had to work 10 times as hard as my peers (most of them were from college pre HS IN ABQ) but it was more of review for them compared to something completely new for me. For example, calculus was not even offered to RG students. I had to take it during the summer so that I could get into the college that I wanted. Most basic college entrance classes I tested out of or A/P BUT that was only because my parents invested in rigourous after school tutoring, all three years of summer school for classes that were not offered or because I wanted a higher grade than what I earned so my GPA was accepted by decent colleges. Rio Grande failed me and if we not for my sole determination, my parents and a handful of dedicated teachers I’d be nothing more than a statistic. Shame on you.

I have taught here for a quite a while and I am proud of my school. We love our kids and the community.

I could go on for hours why this school is not a good school. #1 being they do not challenge your child. My Son went here and they has him start in a special Ed class. All he did all day was color. Come home with work that was not even done. Yet they said it was not homework. So he would come home with a complete empty packet with nothing done. The things that were particularly done alot of the problems were incorrect but had a star on the top. Like the teacher did not even look at the work and correct it. Just put a star on it. The teachers are un willing to have parent teacher conferences at times that could work with parents that work a 8-5 job. If your child is struggling In any subject do not send to this school they do not offer one on one tutoring and will just put your child in a class mixed with all different grades to color all day. My son is Dyslexic when I asked them to test him for it they told me it's normal for a 7 year old to write numbers and letters backwards. I could go on and on but my experience and nmy son's experience was not at all good.

The overall vibe at Coronado is a positive one! The administration and teachers all work together for the good of the students and you can tell they are happy to be there! The lessons are engaging and the students seem to be happy to be learning.

I like how much trust and freedom the teachers give the students.
