Middle School Student: Good enough. The teachers are great and most of the material is taught well. The way they organize the students is good and creative. I wish some of the teachers were a bit more flexible in how they get the information across, and there were a larger amount of different core classes you could take. It prepares its students well for High School though but isn't the most efficient in keeping the students kind and motivated. The school spirit is okay, but it is a bit overboard in trying to keep the students in check, which gets them a bit more out of line. It offers great computers and other supplies to the students, allowing them to expand their learning capabilities, and still keeps a good balance between work done online vs. on paper. It doesn't assign an overwhelming amount of homework, but there is quite a bit, so I would consider that before sending your child here. I like the school and I think it is pretty decent, but there are definitely some things that could be better.... Read 5 reviews

Works Here: It is the best "Southside" school in Santa Fe. The teachers are experienced. The students are well prepared for ant school they transfer to, including SF Prep and ATC. The music program and music teacher s are the best fpr elementary students in Santa Fe, if not in the state. The community values the arts, and the after school program offerings are amazing and FREE: Jazz band French, cooking, sign language, chess, jazz history, future cities, and many more....

Parent: Eldorado Community School is a great place for my children. The classes are not to big and they all get plenty of one on one time with all of there teachers. The students are great also. Everyone that is involved with the school really seems to be very friendly and is willing to help out with anything at any given time.... Read 1 review

Senior: What I liked about McCurdy Charter School is the staff. At other schools they say the staff cares about you but that isn’t always the case. At McCurdy the teachers really do care how you are doing. During my senior year there were 2 teachers that really helped me out. It’s because of them that I had the confidence to apply to so many colleges.... Read 8 reviews

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. Also, many good teachers would be there for students. If I have to make choice to pick my school or other school, I would pick my school. Deaf students would love to go there!... Read 2 reviews
