So we are definitely excited about our "big move" from Utah to NM next month.
However, I have read a lot of negative comments on the school system of ABQ. My family will be living inside Kirtland AFB and they told us my daughter will be attending Sandia Base Elementary. She's a pretty good student so I am quite concerned about the negative reviews about that school.
If anyone here is familiar with that school, please post here or send me a PM. I would really appreciate any comments on personal experiences. I am hoping this awful reviews are just exaggerated
I found the reviews at this website:
Parent Reviews of Sandia Base Elementary School - Albuquerque, New Mexico - NM
Some samples are:
"... The play ground is full of trash and the duty teacher is to busy chit chatting with other mothers not watching the yard.The parking lot is an accident waiting to happen."
"...The office staff are not happy people and the school is not clean. They are going through renovations, but even before these renovations the school was a mess! Don't send your kids here, transfer them to a better school or homeschool them if you are able!"
"We just moved here and this school has been, by far, the biggest problem of our move! My child is so unhappy at this school. I've never seen such an unorganized school. It's a mad house!"
"Not a good school. The teachers don't care, the principal is ineffectual, and the PTA is disorganized. Blame is placed everywhere but where it belongs - on the staff."
