    My nephew has attended Pathways Academy for the past year as a fifth grader. He previously…read moreattended public school in Rio Rancho with disastrous results. This school has been absolutely perfect for our family since he was diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum as being a child with High-Functioning Autism. He is not in a special education classroom and is not on an IEP and does not need to be at this school. The school treats each child as an individual and educates them to their specific needs and abilities. The school has a four-day school week and there is no homework being brought home. My nephew has been allowed to advance at his own level, even up to the next grade level, and does not have the stigma of being treated like he is in special education. All children are on a behavior management program where they are rewarded for good behavior and he is frequently going on field trips. Bullying is treated appropriately and I'm ecstatic to hear my nephew be able to actually say for the first time that he has "friends." He has sensory issues with clothes and is allowed to wear clothes that are comfortable to him. I like this school because my nephew is treated like a capable child and for the first time in his life is enjoying school and really likes his teachers. It's a pleasure to see him come home from school in a good mood and a lot of his behavioral issues at home have greatly decreased since he has been enrolled at this school. I would totally recommend this school to any parent who has a child on the autism spectrum and/or has ADHD/ADD, or has any type of learning disability.

    My daughters went to Our Montessori School and I credit their time there with setting a foundation…read morefor the great successes they achieved academically. My oldest daughter, Dasia went on to graduate with honors from Brooklyn Technical High School and Amherst College. She got her Masters from Wake Forest and will be pursuing her PHD. My daughter Alasia went to Midwood HS and graduated at 20 with her Bachelors in Bioengineering from Michigan State University. She just completed her Masters at NYU. They went when they were very young and even though they don't remember things like going to their first protest (w/ the students of UNM protesting the Invasion of Iraq in '03) or to Disneyland, they both remember Our Montessori and the wonderful teachers, especially Ms. Belinda and Mr. Chris. They remember the school down to details like the fishtank, the classrooms decorated with planets and red bicycles. When I told Alasia I spoke with Ms. Roxanne, she asked "Wow, does she remember us?" I told her yes and her face lit up. I would recommend this school to every parent. The staff is attentive, genuinely love teaching and are dedicated to the mission of Montessori. In NYC, I would have never been able to afford to send my daughters to a school like this. Ms. Roxanne's explanation of why she chose to structure Our Montessori as it is in order to make it accessible to all children regardless of socioeconomic background was heartwarming and inspirational. I went on to work in special education in NYC and I hope to design a Montessori program exactly like Our Montessori in honor of the great work they've done. I wholeheartedly recommend this school and look forward to reading all of the alumni stories of achievement to come!

If I'm looking for a term to describe my visits to Mandy's Farm, I'm going with Idyllic. The property is true country livin' and from what I understand, that's exactly what this nonprofit that assists folks with developmental disabilities -- chiefly, those on the autism spectrum -- is going for. What an incredible organization. And when you think about it, of course, simplifying is the solution. Individuals on the spectrum tend, generally, to really struggle with the peripheral, what's going on around them, ambient noise and motion and shadow, and the urban everyday is absolutely clattering with these distractions. Mandy's Farm provides a permanent residence -- it's a home, first and foremost -- for people who need to take shelter from the storm. Residents learn to simply live, whether that's cooking or growing food or riding horses, the main facility includes a specially designed swimming pool for rehabilitation, the farm provides tactile experiences and interactions with nature. How friggin' genius, man. Essentially, the story goes that the farm was named after Mandy, her parents were concerned about what Mandy would do as she matured and they got older, if she might struggle to handle the busy world around her, and so they built this farm, and Mandy started her own little business, E is for Eggs (she loves Sesame Street), and the farm has grown to support many people, a job training program, and produce they sell to local growers markets. You can experience the idyllic by volunteering your time, any time of the year. Just contact them.

    First off, Yelp REALLY needs to allow a zero star review because businesses like this don't even…read moredeserve the one star you have to give in order to leave the review. I came to write a review on my experience, which was TERRIBLE by the way, and was not shocked at all to see that there are nothing but negative reviews. This agency is a disgusting excuse. I moved here from out of state and was directed to the district to answer a question about registering my son. First of all, the student services phone number goes straight to voicemail, there isn't even an option to speak to a person when you call for this department, you have to leave a message and hurry up and wait. I left a message and waited THREE DAYS to get ONE QUESTION answered and the woman who called me back asked if my questions had been addressed and then hung up on me. She did not attempt to call me back or anything, despite obviously at the very least hearing me say hello, because had she not she would not have proceeded to ask if my concern had been addressed. If your not going to have the option for people to speak with a live person when they call, you could at least have the common courtesy to do your best to make sure that your giving people the opportunity to receive they help they need. I called back and expressed to the receptionist that I had already waited 3 days for a response and was pretty much immediately hung up on and she immediately transferred me right into the voicemail. I called back and she was extremely RUDE advising that it was not her issue and I could either leave another voicemail and wait again or drive down to the office. Once I arrived, the complete and total lack of concern was even more evident as I was greeted by the same women who was not willing to be of any assistance over the phone and additionally she gave me misinformation even being in her face. All in all I had to take a nearly hour round trip drive to ask ONE QUESTION as a result of the complete and total lack of concern, competence, compassion, and a number of other things from this entity. I don't think there is a way around dealing with them but just be aware and don't be surprised when you met with rudeness and incompetence!

    Hate the new superintendent, changed the calendar last year making it harder for planned vacations,…read morechose to change the calendar again this year with some horrible changes, changed the starting time in the high school I attend from 7:25 to 8:33, chose to change it again for the 2024/2025 school year which is truly annoying as it seems they can't make up their mind with all these bad changes happening to the schools and calendar, just keep this current calendar or change it back to the old one, Albuquerque's education has gone down over the years and with the changes placed it only seems to get worse, it seems like they truly don't care about our education and not to mention Albuquerque is rated pretty low when it comes to education, APS has to do better.

    I was supersized I read so many negative reviews of this place. I will say prior to my son…read moreattending this place we had the worst experience with the public school preschool program and special education classroom. At the previous school my child was hit by a teacher and we created an investigation. So I wanted my child to be in an educational system in which I could have access to video monitoring services and one that held teachers accountable. So I as any parents of a little one I was skeptical of every place that I went to observe and I ended liking kiddie academy because of their philosophy, rules, and how they hold teachers accountable. My child has a few couples of days getting used to his new school and he did bite a child one day and got suspended. However in no time he learned to get a long with the rest of the children and be friends with children. I saw my child grow as the little butterfly he is and be confident in his social skills and educational journey. He was able to graduate from pre-K with his peers and do the summer program as well. He loved it so much that me that he is in kinder he tells me he misses Kiddie academy friends and teachers. The team is amazing and wonderful and I will forever be grateful they took care of my little one as one of theirs.

    My child was bitten a documented 32 times at this center. It was known there was a consistent child…read morewho bit. Despite the multiple discussions with management and staff, my 2 year old son continued to be bitten. The management had an attitude of "kids will be kids" and not an attitude of how to make sure he and the other children were not bitten. One or two bites may be a toddler behavior but not 32. The lack of care, or plan put in place was the reason we had to disenroll. It was not fair to my son to go to school everyday in that type of environment. The only reason I didn't give it one star was because there were a couple teachers I liked at the school.​

    Poor communication. Over and over. Leads to all types of problems. My biggest complaint. Though…read morethere are more. Seems to have high staff turnover-over. Even within the school they'll move teachers around during the school year, which has been very disruptive for my daughter. My daughter has been at the school 7 years (because I can't get my ex to agree to change) and they keep taking away programs rather than adding. I feel due to trying to grow too quickly. Staff is hard to get a hold of and won't return calls. Kids have extremely limited outdoor time. 95% of day in one small room at same desk. No energy outlet. No creative outlet. I don't know what other charter schools are like, but MAS has been hugely disappointing.

    The "Fixed Classroom System," intended for stability, functions more as a risk management…read moretactic--keeping students in one room all day to secure attendance numbers, often at the expense of their learning. Instruction relies heavily on worksheets since teachers rotate all day, and facilities like the football field remain largely unused. Teachers lack dedicated space, and students face systemic inequities. As unintentional as it may be, these systemic inequities are most apparent in the disparity between the Old Coors and Yale campuses. Students from predominantly Hispanic, lower-income neighborhoods are bused to the Yale location, where they remain segregated from the rest of the Yale student population. Administrative leadership, marketing, and campus resources are concentrated at Yale, creating a visible divide in support. This obvious two-tier system sends a troubling message and should be a cautionary tale in systemic bias within risk-adverse institutions and inequality.
