I was told that Del Norte is the smallest high school compared to all of those within the Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) district. Back in the day when DNHS opened in 1964 it was the most northern property in the city (hence, the name), so nothing was more north than the campus. My has this city grown! SIDE NOTE: Very few of my yelp friends know that I substitute taught for three consecutive school years; I made my schedule open to all high and middle schools, yet I only subbed at certain elementary schools because I already knew I was a better fit for older students. In those three school years, I discovered that I really work best with high schoolers compared to any other age group; therefore, I just had to find a location that worked best with my volunteer and family schedules. I found my spot. On a funny note, DNHS refers to its campus as the Castle. So, the Queen of Albuquerque found a place for her crown. ;-) Anyone using the yelp app knows who sometimes holds this title. *wink* What I love about Del Norte High School: ODE TO DNHS. Okay -- my heart is really signing this and not my voice. I appreciate the staff and faculty, the new building, the location, and the students. As of the fall semester of 2014 the cafeteria is still being built, so if you drive by the Castle, you'll see the construction underway. The projected completion date is the fall semester of 2015. I look forward to the new cafeteria. Wait! Students are calling my name right now, and so I have to run. See you all around yelp! Have a nice day!

I gave Del Norte 4 stars, but that requires an explanation. Ranking wise Del Norte is a below…read moreaverage school. However based on two things occuring it can provide an above average education. First your child must be self motivated and proactively pushing their own education. Second there needs to be significant parent involvement in what classes they take and addressing issues with the school administration when they come up. With these two things your child can get an above average education at Del Norte. Without them you are looking at average at best.

This is what makes Bosque special, and beyond the fray of the typical regimented Private institution; this school not only prepares young minds for a lifetime of learning, they sustain the youthful hunger to live in the moment, always ask Why, and do Good in the world around them. To that end, the doing Good, this school is also special for providing financial scholarships to a majority of their students. We're recipients, and with their help we're able to provide our daughter with a world class education, something we honestly doubted could ever happen. Bosque is authentic, grounded, connected to its environment and community, and worth every penny. Like I said, visit. You'll believe it.

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.

My kid attended Holy Ghost from Pre-K - 8th grade and during 8th grade graduation which was suppose to be a good day turned into a complete nightmare! We advised Dr. Copland (principal) that my kid had made honors for the whole year of 8th grade and was not recognized appropriately during awards ceremony. She insisted that our kid did not make honors 3rd quarter we showed her proof we held a hard copy certificate/grades for each quarter of 8th grade, including 3rd quarter. After all the money we have put into this school (mind you never asked for financial aide) the least we could have expected from the principal was an apology. During the graduation after the awards ceremony, the principal avoided us and would not approach us after being advised by her, herself to bring in proof of the 3rd quarter honors. We have had continuous issues throughout the years; however, this was one that was most impacting as it took away from a special day.

My eldest daughter was reading before she entered Kindergarten and I truly believe this school had truly set her up for success.

Additionally, the school creates fun learning centers and creative learning modules that really engage the pre-school child. The teachers and administrators truly care about my children and they are forever part of our family. If you're looking for a small family-centered learning center, I can't recommend ELP enough.
