As a former teacher at Stone, I can assure you that the principal and staff truly care about the students in this school. I loved every minute of teaching here -- great kids, great staff, great principal!

Both of my children have attended Stone since kindergarten. I personally believe there is not a better school in New Mexico. The staff is wonderful. They truly love the students and help prepare them academically, emotionally, socially, and behaviorally for the future. Stone deserves an award for being OUTSTANDING!!

the school has a no talking rule in the morning while waiting to go to class. if they do they get yelled at by staff. principle more concerned about shirts tucked in than how kids feel or how they are doing.
