We couldn't be happier with our choice of Bosque School. As a parent, I toured Sandia Prep and…read moreAlbuquerque Academy as well, but Bosque stood out for several reasons that continue to prove themselves year after year. What makes Bosque different is the community. The small class sizes mean my child isn't just a number -- every teacher truly knows them, checks in regularly, and encourages them to take healthy risks. At Academy, we felt the culture was much more high-pressure and competitive, and at Sandia Prep the environment was good but not quite as personal as Bosque. The academics at Bosque are rigorous, but not overwhelming. My child is challenged, supported, and actually enjoys learning. The senior thesis and independent projects prepare students for college in ways that go beyond test scores. At Academy there are more AP courses, but the trade-off seemed to be higher stress and less balance. Another unique strength is how Bosque uses its location in the bosque (river forest) for science, service learning, and hands-on projects. That connection to nature, plus strong arts programs, has given my children experiences they wouldn't have had elsewhere. Social-emotional support is woven into the culture, which was important to us. We wanted a school where our child would be seen, known, and valued -- and Bosque really delivers.

Holy! If you want to know how an inspiring campus feels, then visit Atrisco Heritage Academy High…read moreSchool [ http://aha.aps.edu ] since it will be better than some of the community college campuses and most high school campuses that we can compare it to. Just check out their school grounds to see how professional and up-to-date the classrooms are. Simply because the buildings are so nice and because technology is utilized in the classrooms, this place earns two of the four stars. Good job Atrisco Heritage Academy (AHA) High School! Locals refer to this high school as AHA [pronouncing it like "Ah-ha"]. A few just say Atrisco or Atrisco Heritage. The students that I have talked to state that they do like or love AHA, and I always tell them how lucky they are to have such a wonderful campus. They agree. They also know that their student body is the largest group of students in the state of New Mexico. Needless to say they are good with crowds. At this age many students really value having friendships and being social, so the more the merrier. Such large numbers add up, but sometimes this can be negative because it is known that teachers have to share classrooms with other teachers. Some employees are okay with this, but if you are the type of educator that needs her or his own room, then make sure you are guaranteed your very own classroom if you decide to teach at AHA and would like your own domain. Of the teachers and educational assistants that I have had the pleasure to work with tell me that they are happy at AHA -- adding in that the administration makes a huge difference, for the administration is supportive and useful. Way to have it together! So far everyone I have spoken to and interacted with at AHA are super. From these moments and feedback AHA earns two more stars. I have not talked to any parents that have their children at AHA, but some of the neighborhoods that the students live in are the newer "cookie-cutter" homes [note that those homes are still very nice though]. One of my good friends lives in one of those so-called neighborhoods that is in the AHA school boundaries, and my friend has no complaints with the neighborhood children. Parents really ought to send me their thoughts to let me know how happy you all are with AHA. I'd be interested in your experiences because parent involvement is an integral part of student success. Different levels of employees have stated that AHA has the largest feeder of students that go on to attend the University of New Mexico. This is great, so do not let AHA's grade report [ http://www.rda.aps.edu/RDA/ReportCard/index.cfm ] get you that down. It's like that old saying goes: You get out of it what you put into it. Since most of us parents succeeded in going through high school, we can nod to that.

They truly care and help students prepare for college, work, or wherever a positive future is for each individual. The students are kind to each other and are there to actually learn and not worry about tHe petty nonsense most teens endure at other schools.

They've got a great idea on how to help our young adults and I just hope things stay strong and eveN get stronger.
