Mandela International Magnet School

• Santa Fe Public Schools, NM
• 7-10
• 7 reviews

Freshman: Absolutely great school!! I have been coming to this school for the past year and a half, starting in 8th and now midway through 9th. As for academics it is the top in New Mexico. Since the school is using the International Baccalaureate system, students are challenged yet prepared greatly for university. We have seniors going straight into sophomore year in college. With the rigorous system, anyone who gets the IB Diploma has the advantage of getting into better college programs. Our school is only lacking in athletics. But since the school is growing, more teams will be formed in the next couple years. For now we only have middle school teams in volleyball (girls) and basketball (both). All students are allowed to play for other public school teams in our district. I highly recommend our school to anyone who is looking for a tougher (academically speaking), safer, and more welcoming community.

Niche User: The school is an amazing for deaf students like me. It is small school, but I felt like it is my second home with second families. I involved lot of sports and activities.
