Parent: I absolutely think Coral Community Charter School lives up to every aspect of their name! They are MORE than a Community, it's family! The staff is so close knit and they take the time to get to know each student and their families. I appreciate that Coral does not treat my children as just another number in their system, they treat them as an important human being that strives for greatness and gives them the tools for success. My children were given a Personal Education Plan (P.E.P) from the beginning, which tailors to their personal learning and social-emotional goals. The individualization ensures my children will gain the needed support and tools for success. I appreciate the single gender strategies implemented, because boys and girls learn differently! I appreciate that Coral allows my children to move around in the class, they believe that children retain more information while given the opportunity to move around. When looking for a QUALITY school, Coral is the place for you... Read 24 reviews

Parent: All of my children attended MAS Charter School. I have two daughters who have graduated from MAS and have both gone to college. My youngest child is still attending MAS and this school was instrumental in helping my children. My oldest daughter was not proficient in reading when she started 7th grade, yet graduated as an advanced reader thanks to MAS! They are VERY structured, so if you don't want structure, you won't want to send your child here, but if you value structure and accountable learning for your child, this is the place to go!...

Parent: We have been very happy with NMIS. We've had excellent teachers and our child really enjoys school. The language immersion and IB programs are wonderful. I think the IB projects are great learning experiences. I also really appreciate the art and music classes. The past year has been rough with covid and online learning, but NMIS teachers and staff have worked so hard to make the best of the circumstances. We are so happy to be back to full time in-person school now!... Read 12 reviews

Parent: This is my child's 2nd year at ASE and we absolutely love it! The teachers and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, the diversity is unbelievable and overall just a very welcoming place to be. They communicate well and welcome the parents to be involved in everything, especially to follow your child's progress and their grades. It has also been a relief to know all the safety measures and precautions they have in place to protect the students during this pandemic. They truly take their health and well being seriously. I highly recommend this school!... Read 14 reviews

Parent: Overall the school deserves the A rating it consistently receives. The school is not known for sports, however, students can be involved in the regular school district sports activities. The same goes for clubs and activities. It is my opinion, more parents should be actively involved with all aspects of the school. The esprit de corp among faculty and students is high. Our daughter attended the school for 7 years, 2nd through 8th and enjoyed all years. It's a great school.... Read 1 review

Parent: LOVE this school! I've had my oldest in the school for 4 years now, my second is attending his first year and my youngest will be attending next year. I love how involved my kids are with their school. They really have enjoyed their time there and I have as well. The school is always contacting the parents if there are ANY concerns with the school itself or the child. ... Read 2 reviews

Parent: My two sons have attended this school for years and I cannot speak highly enough of it! The care, concern, professionalism, expertise, kindness, and so much more, just pours from each TMEMS employee. My 1st grade son just wrote an essay about how much he loves his teacher. My older son is in middle school and is thriving too. If you want a place for your child to excel, this is it.... Read 1 review

Senior: Estancia Valley Classical Academy has been a wonderful school to attend. Policies are consistent and easy to understand, teachers are exceptional and the school culture is professional and pleasant. I would love to see a wider variety of classes, especially foreign languages! I’d also be interested in more practical classes like home economics. I appreciate that one math and one science credit are open and allow students to start exploring specialized interests while still in high school. Scheduling and transferring can be an arduous process but has greatly improved over the past few years as far as I can tell. The senior thesis is unrivaled in terms of preparing students for college and critical thinking.... Read 19 reviews

Junior: The teachers at Explore Academy who stick around for more than one year are fabulous. Steps have been made toward fulfilling the promise of being a "college prep" school, including starting PSAT testing in 9th grade and offering more advanced courses, but the school still falls short. Without AP classes or support for attending school outside of New Mexico, Explore Academy has some major steps to take. Additionally, due to the high school campus being 6-12 grade, high school students have to contend with the behavior of middle schoolers and sharing spaces such as the lunch room with younger students....
