Read what parents are saying about Mitchell Elementary SchoolBeing a parent, my experience with this school has been negative, especially with the leader. How do we expect our kids to spend seven hours inside this building when just two seconds between drop off and pick up we feel disrespected and unwelcome?
Posted by a parent on 11/3/2022Very disappointed with the lack of parent/teacher engagement and communication. Based on the lack of concern from the principal, it explains why some of the teaching staff just doesn’t seem to care. Bullying is an issue but the lack of respect from students seems to be the underlying issue and is ignored or brushed off when brought to teachers attention. I strongly believe the teaching staff has the capabilities and potential of being great if they had the appropriate support and leadership.
Posted by a parent on 3/14/2020I have two children at this school and they love it. I think this is a great school. Every teacher my children have had in the last 3 years, including this year, have been amazing. They always provide extra help when needed. And teachers they haven't had still know them by name. The school office staff is very friendly and helpful, the principal is wonderful. I'm very satisfied with the education my children are receiving here.
Posted by a parent on 12/24/2016Looking at all the negative that goes back to 2011 is heart breaking. Nothing has changed at this school. Kids are bullied. The special ed department is lack luster. It's not the teachers. It's their principal. She has no idea how to run a school. My child is uncomfortable and unhappy. We are going the charter school route for middle school. Don't send your kid here.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt is time for a leadership change. This school was a great prior to 2020, since the return to in-person learning this school has gone downhill. If there is an issue between student or student to teacher issues and you speak to the principal, there is no resolution. I have had to remove my children from this school for the betterment of their education. Teachers are good, the administration needs to change.Parent Review6mo ago - Eldorado High School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt has been an honor to work at the school under Ms. Lovato. She cares about every child in the school. She knows all of their names. She is very involved in every child's education. She treats the teachers like professionals. She does not micro manage. She is always out at the parking lot in the morning or after school. She is always working lunch duties. The teachers work so hard at this school to keep all children safe.Teacher Review8mo ago - Sombra Del Monte Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe feel so fortunate to be at EHCA! Our sons are happy every day and enjoy going to school. The communication is excellent from classroom teachers and the administration. The community feel and family events makes all the difference for us as parents. Our boys are challenged academically and the security of this school is completely top notch. The “extra” classroom activities the teachers come up with keep the kids engaged and excited about learning. We are so thankful to attend this school and appreciate their focus on discipline, along with treating all with kindness and respect.Parent Review1y ago - Sunset Mesa Schools

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageA couple of parents were unhappy with COVID requirements in our state and opted to drop negative reviews everywhere they could to voice their frustration, so I felt like the right thing to do is give a more objectively honest and moderate review. We have 2 children enrolled in Sunset Mesa. We are a military family making ends meet to afford to send our kids to the best schools we can afford to due to the lack of funding and general poor management of the public school system here in central NM (and the state overall, but I digress). For context, we are products of east coast public school systems and are not affluent by any means, nor are we part of the "private school circuit" as this is our first experience with private schools. Honest Review: Academics- We could NOT be any happier with how are children are thriving in this environment. They are being challenged and encouraged, and the grade level classrooms offer differentiation to meet the kids where they are which is what we were searching for (and unable to find in the public school system here). My mother is an elementary public school teacher in another much wealthier state (who was pretty offended we were electing to go private) and she was blown away by where my younger elementary children are compared to the students she teaches in upper elementary. Class sizes seem to range to 12-14 students and they adjust the staff every year to accommodate the number of students enrolled in order to keep those class sizes small. This was especially helpful during COVID. Campus- The campus is open and kid friendly, and reminds me of a smaller version of a college campus. The playgrounds could use some updated equipment and we all hate the parking lot that's too small for the size and influx of vehicles but that's out of their control based on their location. Safety- Positive discipline and respect are some of the cornerstones of this school and that was one of the things that drew us. It's got the values and positive aspects of parochial schools but it's obviously secular. **COVID Safety: I feel compelled to address this only based on the other reviews by the disgruntled parent. With 2 children in school full-time, Sunset Mesa's policies kept my home COVID free for now 2 years, which was comforting to us with now 2 younger babies in the home. I'd characterize their communication as good, and policies erred on the side of caution for self-quarantine and testing during the pandemic.Parent Review2y ago
