Read what parents are saying about Buena Vista Elementary SchoolDefinitely the best school in the district. Teachers are amazing!
Posted by a parent on 1/11/2022Terrible. I've raised kids and have never had to struggle like I do now to get the faculty to do their job(s).
Posted by a parent on 10/1/2018This rating most be old. Schoolyear 2017/2018 the school rated a D in NM.
Posted by a parent on 11/30/2017Buena Vista is welcoming to parents. Teachers here still enjoy teaching and take the education of students seriously. Students are valued. Teachers are professional. All five of my children have gone to BV or are going to BV. My husband and I know that they received a top notch education.
Posted by a parent on 4/17/2014Don't count on being welcomed to participate greatly in your child's classroom activities, even fieldtrips. Your child's teacher, depending on who they are, might like your participation or they might act like it's an imposition, and the principal really doesn't encourage it (Except for the PTO fundraising. Now that she loves and that's her only idea about "parent participation"). Also, don't count on any conversation that you have with the principal being private. I found out that her calls are always on speaker and anyone who's near her office, like the secretary or anyone in the outer office like teachers or other parents can hear everything. And even if you have a face-to-face conversation with her, you can be sure it's going to be discussed with other staff members that have nothing to do with the issue. I know this because I have had staff members that I have known outside of the school that have contacted me and have been able to tell me exactly what I discussed with the principal. And they themselves knew that they should never have been privy to that info. So, if you can handle these issues, it's an okay school.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is the worst school I have ever known about and the worst that any of my children have attended. The school staff treat parents and students very poorly. If you don't like your job at the school, quit. If you don't like teaching, quit. If you cannot have a positive attitude while doing you job, quit. I wish I could say that I have just interacted with the staff on a bad day, but it is every single interaction that I have had has been extremely unprofessional and rude. I wish there was a way out of the school without moving. I would recommend that (if you can) homeschool your kids until you can get them into Cloudcroft or any neighboring school in Alamogordo (except Oregon I hear they aren't any different than North).Parent Review4y ago - Oregon Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has NO implemented policy or prevention programs in place to help address the problem of Bullying and Harassment by other kids who have an agenda to dominate a child who has a name or belief that easily can draw ridicule and defamation from individuals or groups of kids who pray on the weaknesses of the kids who do NOT have the ability to defend themselves because of their size or the sheer number of opponents that child would have to face. This school is supposed to have a protocol that involves the filing of an incident report on Synergy and then a full investigation which includes interviews of the kids involved in the incident and interviews of the teachers and staffers that were supposed to be watching the kids and interviews of ALL witnesses to the incident. The fact that the Principle of this school takes the sole word of a teacher that did NOT witness the incident and did NOT interview the victim of the Bullying and did NOT notify the parents of the victim as to action the Principal was about to administer to the victim NOT the perpetrator is a total breakdown of a system that is supposed to help the kids who are Bullied deal with the serious mental issues that come from being on the receiving end of the Bullying. After consulting with legal experts who deal with these types of claims it is VERY apparent that this school could and probably will end up with legal fees and claims that without a doubt will be settled out of court to avoid the embarrassing predicament that this Principal and teacher has unduly put on this school district. This school district has to evaluate the value of such a liability verses finding more programs and discussions with the kids in the school to educate and inform them that there is a ZERO tolerance of this kind of behavior.Parent Review7y ago - Yucca Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSave your money. Better off at public school and helping your child at home. They only read and do worksheet, they don't challenge the students. The teachers have their favorites and don't set a good example of a Christian.Parent Review4y ago - St Frances Cabrini Catholic School
