High School Senior: The academics are top-notch here. Teachers ask a lot of their students but are also understanding and helpful. Mostly everyone here wants to excel, and each student finds a special area where they are talented. The curriculum is challenging, and there are a lot of requirements, but there is also enough flexibility so that everyone can take the classes they want. There are innovative classes here--take for example Godzilla (11th grade course), which combines English with American History. The academics here are usually regarded as the best in the state, and have been named fifth best in the country.Read 130 Reviews
Senior: I have attended this school for all of my high school years. It has a great learning environment with many helpful resources. Due to the small class sizes, I was given many oppurtunities to have one on one time with excellent teachers at our school. Apart from the one on one time, due to the small numbers there are great relationships among all the students, almost like family. It's academics are great, the school has a great curriculum giving it's students and I all the l knowledge needed. It also had a great college readiness program called Gear Up that helps all the student there gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in college. It is truly a great school.Read 1 Reviews
Alum: One thing I liked was how involved all the teachers were! They definitely wanted to be there teaching the students and helping them strive for success. I liked the activities that were offered for students to do after school and during school. One thing I think should change is how they announce those activities, some are more glorified than others and I think every activity should be given the same spotlight.Read 24 Reviews

Senior: My experience with las cruces public schools was great. My school (centennial) had a huge diversity of students and the school district provided teachers and/or recourses to students with specific needs. Overall it was good but my only complaint would be the school lunches. They met the requirements for the amount of vegetables, protein, carbs, etc but it did not looks appealing most of the time.Read 45 Reviews

What I would Change about the school is that we can go off-campus for lunch.Read 1 Reviews
Senior: Hondo Valley Public Schools is a relatively very small school. As students, we are able to get one on one help from the teachers. The teachers are ready to help and will even set up a time to have a private session if the school material is hard to understand. The students treat each other as family and everyone knows everyone else name. Hondo School is an amazing school for kids who are not comfortable with crowd. Best school I ever went to.Read 1 Reviews
Senior: The teachers at Farmington High School are excellent and truly wish to see you succeed in whatever your endeavors be after graduation. I chose higher education and the counselors have worked hard to ensure I choose the right college and take the steps to attend the college. Students are notified of scholarships throughout their junior and senior years to help with the financial parts of attending higher education. School pride is emphasized and the sports teams effectively portray this pride. There are numerous clubs that are available to the students and a brand new campus was just built, so the facilities themselves are superb.Read 15 Reviews
