Kirtland Elementary School

If you want to send your child to a school where they will get bullied, then this is the school for you. The principal ignores your phone calls and emails and reroutes them to the dean (who seemed to be the only person that actually cared about my student at the school). The teachers get away with making inappropriate comments towards students, including telling the entire class about my daughters past prior to being adopted(without her permission), and the school claims to be "non punitive" in order to excuse the bully's behavior. She was made fun of for her appearance, for having two moms, for having short hair, for being adopted the list goes on and on. There is zero accountability, and my student was choked by another student in which I was not notified of. She came home crying almost every day and was told that people were mean because it was her fault. We moved here from another state where she was excelling in school, her grades dropped severely the first grading period here, she was told she was ahead of all the other children, but her grades did not reflect that. When we asked for homework to work on the subjects she was struggling with the teacher told my student "That homework was stupid and that her mom's wouldn't be able to teacher her the work anyways" If I could give this school -5 stars I would.

The school has made a huge turnaround since the last comment was posted. In the last few years a new principal has come in that is extremely data focused. I see her message replicated in the teachers now. Students are making huge improvements in academics. Genius Hour is the most fun my child has ever had and she enjoys picking her new classes every few months. The teachers all seem very qualified or almost over qualified for their jobs. The school just has such a creative, caring and welcoming staff. I am super sad we will start online because I have been looking forward to seeing them all and enjoying the wonderful opportunities afforded to my child.

just nowNEWMy son came to Holy Ghost from another private Christian school. Hands down, he is getting the best education at Holy Ghost. The staff's main priority is the children's education and keeping our children safe with love and grace. I highly recommend this school to everyone.

I am a proud MAS parent and my child has been at MAS since kindergarten! He is now a 10th grader and is a dual enrollment student and is thriving! He will earn an associate's degree by the time he graduates MAS! I could not be happier about this! So proud of him and grateful for MAS!

Finally, a New Mexico school that cares about its students and staff. Students enjoy coming to school and staff is friendly and helpful.
