Lavaland Elementary School

This school has amazing extracurricular activities to choose from: archery club, running club, bible club, cooking club, Zumba, basketball (has one of the State of New Mexico’s top rated basketball coaches), choir club, free after school tutoring, just to name a few. The principals advocate for families and fight for students to receive the best education whatever that might look like, they definetly work to think outside the box and improvise for the children. There are amazing teachers who have a compassionate heart for teaching and care about the children. The community events at the school bring people together and create positivity for the neighborhood. Be lucky to find this gem of a school within such a large public school system!

My son had great years at Valle Vista. The teachers are great and very helpful. When my son got sick the school reached out to see if we needed anything and dropped of his classwork so he won't fall behind. Valle Vista has a great Dual Language program with teacher that at great at what they do.

Doors get shut/phones hung up/and phone calls never returned/no updates/ rude remarks/UNPROFESSIONALso be sure to not have any major issues because there won't be ANY resolutions. everything will get pushed aside and no steps to make changes are established WITH the parent or school for that matter.my biggest fear is losing a child and it clearly isnt important to this school because even walking into the office saying " i have child safety concerns" isn't enough to get their attention.They missplaced my 6yr old TWICE and had no idea how they lost track of my child. Once is already too many times...

This school allows kidnapped children to be enrolled without a birth certificate any documents and not being a parent or guardian to children! If you like to kidnap children you can enroll them here without a problem!

My Daughter has attended Legacy Academy since she was in preschool (K4). She is now a senior giving her 14 years in total. After having 2 older daughters attend public schools, I jokingly tell people I would sooner sell a kidney than take her out of Legacy. This is a fantastic school in every way, AP classes, NHS, Sports, Fine Arts, and much more, but the most important aspect is that it's a biblical world view with a focus on discipleship in every area. The teachers and staff are excellent and truly care about the children, their safety, and their future. I can honestly say the worst part is that her time at Legacy is coming to an end and it's doubtful we will find a college with the same values, however, I believe wholeheartedly she is well prepared for life because of her time at Legacy.
