Posted March 7, 2013

I was nervous about sending my son here as I came from a highly rated district in another state. I've been very happy with things so far. The school seems to have a lot of resources available to support student instruction (technology, programs, staff, etc.). My son's teacher has made his needs are met- differentiating his work to make sure he's challenged. There is not a gifted program available at this school, though. I like the fact that the school is for K-2 students only. The school building is beautifully designed, new, and secure.

In 2011-2012 New Mexico used the New Mexico Standards-Based Assessment (NMSBA) to test students in grades 3 through 8, 10 and 11 in Reading and Math. The NMSBA is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New Mexico.
