I have gone to worse and worse schools highschool's as I got older. Been to six highschools and santa Fe was worst. The education is more simplistic and the best teachers are in classes like drama which don't usually matter much. Pros are that the students are more innocent than other schools and th

I am currently a Student at SFHS in the veterinary program, and though it is a great school with some of the best teachers I have had in my life. The veterinary assisting Program is definitely not all its cracked up to be. It is truly an extension of the Ag programs and it is truly an Ag class in

My son goes to pre-k here and he loves going to school. He really likes his teachers. His teachers are amazing!! He has a current disability regarding having issues with going to the bathroom and his teachers have been such Saints about it and try to be so helpful. They did not discriminate against him which I was expecting them to when we started school but they have been amazing. Everyone is so happy and friendly here. They take security seriously no one is getting in or out! And I love that they have an officer stationed daily. There's talk of closing down the school and consolidating it into one big school with McBain and I think that would be a huge mistake! I had to find my son a public school after we moved and heard such good things and I'm so glad I ended up bringing him here. I do wish there was a little more communication with regarding learning but I'm not sure how public school is supposed to proceed with that due to my oldest has gone to a private school and they work differently. But this is an awesome School.
