I am the writer of that horribly written negative review. That was written when I was much younger,…read moreand I have a much different and a better view of this whole situation now so I will write a better review. I went to that school from preschool (they called it k-4 when I was in it) all the way up until 8th grade. There were many different principals while I was there but my experience with one of them, Mrs. Cordova, was the most memorable and was my main reason for such a hateful review. She would often take advantage of the fact that I was not only stupid as a preteen, but that I was always the one being walked all over. She had been my 2nd grade teacher, and not long after became the principal. She tried to get me to be a mediator for a group of girls in my class that caused the most issues and were the main bullies in the school at the time. She also never suggested solutions or helped in any way when it came to academic problems. At the time, the math teacher was one of her close friends and she would, in fact, "play the devils advocate" whenever anyone said any sort of issue they had with the math teacher, including with her own son. Different children have different needs and some are more sensitive than others. It was not helpful or kind of her to always try and pin the blame on me for not understanding what the teacher was teaching. They would suggest tutoring but a middle schooler and a high schooler being put together for tutoring doesn't work well OFTEN. High schoolers can and DO get distracted easily, especially in an environment where they are not allowed to get distracted or talk much with their friends until lunchtime which was when tutoring was. This school was not helpful unless you were one of the really academically strong kids, and that was my issue. It also was not a very okay environment to be gay in, especially when it was covid and it felt like the world was ending. It was not a good experience for me overall, but I would like to apologize about the hateful and disrespectful review. It doesn't reflect the person that I am now. Please just be mindful of your children and remember, every sin is seen the same in God's eyes and we don't chastise or intimidate our children and relatives for eating bacon like we have gay people for being gay. Truly love each other and do not judge, we do not have the right to only God can. Luke 6:37 "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;"

Doesn't mean I hate them or anything like that. I wish them the best I really do just like anybody else who sins we're all born into it. The two really hateful reviews are from people who don't know Jesus and sent their kids to the school simply so that they could use their children as a crutch to write bad reviews, and the only review they have written is about the school they opened up an account just to write a bad review That being said, my son has straight, A's knows more about the Bible than I do knows a lot about math a lot about history a lot about science is great in PE and that's not mentioning how big he is. He's the biggest kid there by far in his grade there are a few things just like any other school that worry me a little Bit And it doesn't mean the schools bad it just means some of the teachers need to get their act together. I really hope some of them don't play favorites but I'm sure that many of the people that write these horrible reviews about this wonderful school have that favorite game they play to I'm sure they played every day at work. They play it on the road they played at home. They play it with their friends. This place is a wonderful school to send your child a little expensive but it's far less expensive than the other schools that are charging 12 and $13,000 For your child ago I paid $6800 a year and yes it's a little bit harder because I had to take a massive pay cut to move from Seattle to New Mexico but my son is happy very happy. I hope that people make it an assessment for themselves, rather than listening to the horrible reviews that were written from normal people that don't get employed by the school there's literally only four reviews. Including this one don't work here I'm a plumber. Everybody knows me is the big red bearded man. I'm more friendly than I ever have been because my family is happy. My sons education is paramount. This is an accredited school. He's gonna go far despite what some of the haters say. Have a nice day everybody great place to send your child. And trump is great.

I assure you, This isn't due to being a bitter parent who's son hasn't gotten his way. As a matter of fact I'm very proud of my 4.0 student! My issue has to do with quite a few teachers, and their overwhelming lack of love for their jobs. Now I do understand (and sympathize) teachers tend to be overworked and underpaid, but having said that we have all known this for many years and this was their career path of choice. I'm hearing more and more (not only from my child, but other frustrated parents!), that teachers are heard telling students they are stupid and will never amount to anything. The students are teaching themselves in MANY classes! They're told to take notes from the book. Notes on what you ask? They aren't sure. While students do this (and god forbid ask for help. Ohhh no no!), teachers can be found surfing the web, on social media, or on YouTube claiming to be looking for a video for the next Days class. I am willing to bet my arm, that if we were allowed to look at a teachers daily computer/phone use we would be quite blown away! I'm only saying this after a couple YEARS of watching and listening. And don't get me started on the varsity football program. I hold a lot of respect for teachers and Coaches, but when you have adults sucking the love out of the game, you have an issue. When you have an entire group of boys (who Played football since they were 7 years old) wanting to quit right before their senior year? It's time To look at your head coach! Cleveland was the golden egg, just a few years ago, in my eyes. Now my eyes are open and frankly I'm pretty disgusted at the behavior of not just ONE teacher, but many. Someone needs to monitor what's going on, before more kids drop Out or quit sports programs because the people we entrust with our babies are Acting as bullies.

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.
