The school has outstanding academics, but the sports are a second thought. Without sports, I wouldn't have made it through school. The academic facilities are mostly new and nice, although, not much thought was given to safety in the event of an active shooter. Some the facilities for sports are horrendous, and some are brand new.
I liked the majority of my teachers and thought they did an exceptional job, even during COVID.
The town is racist, especially the police force, but the school has a more diverse population than the town due to out of district kids being allowed to attend school in Los Alamos. This has helped ensure students have the opportunity to interact with people from different cultures.

Los Alamos High School is very rigorous in academics for a public school, so most kids go to college very prepared. The teachers are usually pretty good, although in a small town, there aren't many options for teachers, so bad teachers don't get fired. The music program is very good, and offers many opportunities to explore music. The sport departments are decent, and the school has many competitive sports that often win district or state championships.
I think the school needs to improve upon mental health resources. Because of the highly academic nature of the school and the community, I feel the mental health of students is significantly worse than it is at other schools. There is also rampant drug and alcohol use among the students, which likely does not help students' health, mental and physical.

Los Alamos Schools are geared towards math and science. Students have lots of opportunities to learn any different topics. Excellent teacher to student ratio! A gem in our state.
