Senior: Los Alamos High School is a really good school. Both the staff and teachers are very helpful and encouraging. They are invested in helping you succeed.

Parent: Diversity of students at school is above other LAPS schools with a wonderful group of students from out of district enriching the school. New principal, Mrs. Lynne, is excellent so far having started in Summer 2016. Office staff is extremely helpful and welcoming. Current counselor is excellent and has been very helpful to our family. I have observed him interacting with staff and other students as well and he is an asset to the school community. I wouldn't have my students anywhere else.... Read 10 reviews

Niche User: I think that Barranca Mesa Elementary School is a very good school! The teachers are amazing, in my opinion, and the school facilities are really beneficial to the environment and student needs. I especially think that the amount of time the students get outside are perfect so that the students can refresh without getting off track.... Read 1 review

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
