2019 Best Schools in Colfax CountyAbout this List

Moreno Valley High School

• Cimarron Municipal Schools, NM
• 9-12
• 21

Junior: I have attended this school since my Freshmen year, and I have always thought the academics were great. There is a fair amount of diversity, but the main eye-catcher of this school is the size. The maximum capacity of students is 120 , however there has never been more than 90. It is extremely useful to have such small classes, because you can get better, more concentrated help on the specific subjects in which it is needed. The biggest class size one will see is fifteen students. A student can learn so much more this way. This school also offers AP courses and other advanced classes, so a student always ja the option to challenge themselves if they want to. However, I would recommend this school to another most of all because of how nice everybody is at the school. I have never been in a place that has so many nice people in one place.

High School Senior: The teachers here are some what very good people and connect with the students who actually want to receive an education; some of these teachers have a well rounded educating process such as study skills and what they teach not only hands-on but in the classroom as well. Popular classes include building trades in which they teach not only the math that comes with building and such but how to do the job as well, another popular class in my opinion is English only because of the exceptional teachers that teach these classes.

Senior: I started going to Cimarron High School in the middle of my junior year. I went to a different school nearby and I absolutely hated it. I transferred to Cimarron in hopes for a better education and to play sports at that school. The staff and teachers are so nice and willing to do anything to help you pass and make sure you graduate. They give you all the things you need in order to learn. They give every student there own chrome books, ipads, or macbooks so that they have resources we need right in front of us. The only thing they can't do is make you learn but they give you all the tools you need to do so. If I could change something it would be the way the school is set up. Its one long hall for the entire highschool and its by far way to crowded for as many kids that go there. I want my kids to go to a school similar to this one because I know he or she wont be wasting time.

Springer High School

Senior: Springer schools offers a very unique and personal education due to its small size. You get to know each teacher and every teacher cares about your success. The one downside to this school was that The math and science programs suffered because each year we had a change in faculty. Although we recently had a very drastic change of administration and my senior year is looking to be the best organized, professional, and successful so far.
