Wonderful teachers and staff. A great environment for children and incorpation of sign language is wonderful. Children learn that not all kids are the same and that is okay. No bulling policy is wonderful. And extra programs for kids that need extra help and those who are gifted. Teachers who really care about their students succeding.

I have taught at Indian Hills Elementary School for more than fifteen years. The students love attending our school. The students received a survey in 2008 which clearly showed that they felt safe and happy attending Indian Hills. Also, the survey indicated that our students enjoyed the positive learning environment of the school. The teachers genuinely care for their students and always consider their students' needs to be first priority.

Great building. Great Teachers. Poor Staff. The teachers care for their students and students care about their teachers. I believe that the school could be better if they had a little (hmm, A LOT) effort from parents of the students that attend the school. Overall, it's one of the best in the schools in the city of Gallup, New Mexico. Try to find a better one without paying tutition.
