Hands down the worst school I've ever attended. The guidance counselor made excuses for other students bullying me and enabled their behavior until it escalated and I got jumped. I told the counselor about students call me a homophobic F slur, he responded "maybe that is just a part of their language." They treated me like I was the weird one for existing and others bullying me or hitting me is normal.

3rd year and I am experiencing the same exact issues. I truly regret rearranging our lives for him to be in this school district. This school is in desperate need of a new principal/leadership!!!

Kindergarten and 1st grade was wonderful! We really thought the school was great at that time. However, we started to encounter problems at 2nd grade. All of a sudden, technology took over and the only way to see our child's work was through an app. There was never any homework and we never really saw exactly how our child was progressing. 3rd grade came along and it got even worse. We found out that all the students had their own iPads in the class and were on them about 80% of the time. It's no wonder our children seem to be behind. The school also has a lack of filters on them since children have accidentally accessed inappropriate material. The principal seems to be more concerned over tardiness then the actual learning of the children. Drop off is a nightmare and they love to inconvenience any parent that might arrive just in the nick of time for school. Not friendly and they don't care. Test scores are terrible and we are pulling our children out of this school as it seems to be getting worse each year.

The focus of the school goes beyond providing education for students--it helps students plan their future. Students are required to adapt quick to the school environment, where regular classes go twice as fast compared to other schools that surrounds it because the course is only one semester long instead of two semesters. Because of that, students almost complete their high school graduation requirements while still being a sophomore! Students spend their remaining two years working on their Associate's degree, and most of them, if they do not change career paths, even get to work in their Bachelor's degree for their last semester of their high school senior year! The school pays for all college expenses, high school classes are really of good help, the school is guarded by charismatic securities all the time, has the most wonderful yet small campus in New Mexico, and students have access to different technological tools--there are IPad tablets and laptops available in almost every classroom, almost every classroom contains three good-quality smart boards that are located around the classroom, there is a Mac lab available for students, and laptops available for check out for students if they need access to one from home. To conclude, it was a great exeprience and I love the different engineering, medical, criminal justice, along with other careers, that the school offers. Your kid will obtain a good education here and will be helped by the school to go beyond just a high school graduation. Although the school name, grade level, and contact info are incorrect. I was a junior when it was finally from grade levels 9-12. Now it is called Arrowhead Park Early College High School, from grade levels 9-12, and the address is now 3600 Arrowhead Dr, Las Cruces, NM, 88011, which is in the New Mexico State University area and just a few blocks away from its previous location. I hope this gets fixed.
