My overall experience with Albuquerque Public School has been very good. I had good teachers, counselors and staff that cares about me. I had made friends through out the years at different schools and levels. I was able to play sports, participate on clubs and be a part of summer programs. I felt safe because we practice the emergency plan. Also, I was able to chose a bilingual program and be able to take classes in Spanish and English. At High School they offered a variety of electives that make my high school experience more comfortable. I ceramics, forensic, photography, Lifetime sports, Reel History, 2d computer design.
APS is the most dysfunctional organizations I have ever come in personal contact with. The District is irredeemably flawed, as their values are skewed and their plans bend in whatever direction they feebly desire. The District has constructed several, million dollar complexes designated to be "teacher training facilities", when in fact 99% of the staff, and much less anyone else in the community, has ever stepped foot inside. This is only a single example of the gross waste committed by the district. More can be found in the state of most of the school buildings, and all teaching materials not purchased by teachers themselves. The only reason I gave APS 2 stars, are the amazing teachers i have been put in contact with as a result of my education. Some of the most caring, intelligent, invested people i have ever met. The teachers are truly failed by the lacking administration, and as a result some leave, to be replaced in another bought of poor spending by lesser teacher
I have learned a lot with APS. Even though they are not the best or do everything perfectly, I have mostly always had good teachers and now and then I have had very good teachers who I will remember for the rest of my life. I have been in APS since I was 5 and now I am a senior in Highschool and cannot believe I am leaving APS. I think the only thing I will say about APS is about the admin, the teachers are way better and help more than they do.
