School Reviews

I graduated from this school in 2004. Back then it was a pleasant school. I enjoyed knowing my teachers well and I received a good education because I took it seriously. I'm not sure how it is today, but I think that if you're looking for trouble anywhere, you will surely find it.

I went to this school my freshmen and my junior year of high school. That was the worst school I had ever been to. The counselors don't give a crap if you're hazed or threatened, I was a victim and constantly targeted. The teachers are horrible. Do not send your kids to this school. The gang violence in Las Vegas, NM is horrendous. The only thing that will help that town is if there's a fire followed by a flash flood.
