Rating 3.43 out of 5 146 reviews
I moved here in the 7th grade and the curriculum and rigor of many courses challenged me throughout the years. School is never perfect, but it is definitely one of the better experiences of my life. I was pleased to see how many options for different classes there were, especially when moving into high school. Because of this, I did not move back to California and took an architecture class not offered at other schools. This is helping me pursue my desired career in architecture.
I feel that the best parts of the school year that I spent in APS would be the spirit weeks, where everyone would partake in the silly prompts and recognize school spirit, as for the more negative experiences, I would say that the numerous school shootings weren’t ideal, and brought down a lot of the feeling of security within the district.
I love the diversity within Albuquerque Public Schools. There are also some committed, caring teachers who do their best with few resources. Unfortunately, standards are not very high at many schools and overall college readiness rates are low.
