Acequia Madre Elementary School

Not much in way of special services for slower learners. Gym only once a week. The principle and teachers are definitely a 'good ole boy's club'.Inexperienced principle.

The school I believe does not want to listen to the parents about how the teachers conduct and integrity is lacking. The Nurse is mazing and the Kindergarten and 1st grade homeroom teachers are great. But the Principal, secretary and the PE teacher have issues that for as a parent is concerning. I may transfer my child to another school.

Hasta ahora ha sido una buena escuela.

Really wonderful directors, faculty and parent community. We looked at all the private and some public schools in Santa Fe and are so happy with Desert Montessori. Our child is in third grade and is thriving. Loves to go school, is challenged academically, and also has made great friends. Fabulous art and music program too.

I have never experienced the luxury of the a school such as this one. The teachers put more investment into each and every child to an extent I have never seen. Having two kids and moved a few times in only the four years of my kids lives, I have seen: Daycare's that declare they have agendas that seem fitting and appropriate. Early Childhood centers that claim they are giving my children exactly what they need. Chain Daycares that have excellent reviews... I thought I saw it all until my child was accepted into Rio Grande. I was blown away at what this school offered. The teachers kept me in touch with every small accomplishment and helped with the struggles. There was no detail left unsaid. I assumed all early childhood places declared promises that would never be met - I was very wrong! I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the teachers, the administration and entire school was just as invested in my child as I was.I can say with full confidence that this is the most solid foundation one could ever get for their child.My child wants to go to school every day - and now easily lets me start my day with a happy heart.

Was a student at NMSD from when I was a 2 years old to the day I graduated, so this school basically my entire educated. This school offer many opportunities and experienced that apply the real world, most importantly proud being a deaf or hard of hearing person with many successful deaf role model, mentors, teachers, coaches, and peers.
