Sorry, this may be "the best" or "one of the best schools" in Santa Fe, NM, but they fail in…read moremirroring top preparatory schools in other towns/cities from what I've observed. New Mexico public schools are sadly lacking, so there is little the privates need do to be better. Sure, you/your child will get the sticker for the car so you can brag, but in my opinion, there is little to brag about. The relaxed attitude towards grading, test scores, instruction, or even the colleges and universities graduates attend is sad given tuition payments. The administration isn't up to the standards of private schools in more advanced markets nor is the teaching staff. This school can't even keep their calendars updated. Little diversity in students, faculty and staff, but that's not really a surprise. Save your money, go public and have your child tutored!

NMSA earned an "A" last school year from the New Mexico Public Education Department. Not only does…read morethis say a lot about this charter school, but also the students achieved a 96% graduation rate [ http://www.nmschoolforthearts.org/2013/05/may-31-2013-nmsa-seniors-achieve-96-percent-graduation-rate/ ] in 2013. If both of these things do not really impress you, then I can personally say that I am fully inspired by this school from the current 2014-15 school year students because not only were they happy to see their friends again, but they were excited, truly elated, to be back in school. Wow! Authentic leaners are what more schools need. My daughter fits right into the NMSA pupil population because she herself is a natural student, and I anticipate her flourishing here for many reasons. Some of those reasons include the learning environment, teachers, scholars, and overall educational embrace. The admissions department selected the perfectly motivated children, and I am amazed with their selection. I fully support the New Mexico School for the Arts. I want to volunteer here as much as time allows. I cannot wait to help. Congratulations NMSA! Well done.

Recently though, they have made a new building an it seems much more focused on their original intention of making art accessible to young people. I went to the opening of the building a couple of days ago, and while it was still surrounded by 14-17 year olds trying to look cool, they also have a great new media arts center, a waaay better recording studio, and two really good gallery spaces. The performance space for the bands is surprisingly similar to the old one, but at least that isn't the only thing that's going on there anymore. I'm looking forward to seeing what else they come up with.

Kind of an odd venue. I have heard Santa Fe is lacking in them so it is good it is there. It has…read morethat kind of After School special vibe but trying to be hip. There is no booze allowed there, and the kids orientation attitude is cool for them but possibly with that you lose other markets. Our friend who has a radio show was surprised he did not see more of the older people in the Santa Fe music circle. However it is a block a way from 2nd street brewery so this is easily rectified. Sound was okay and the staff were polite. The dance floor was better than some. It was kind of weird how the younger crowd like to sit on the floor. You feel bad standing in front of them. But you want to show the performers some love. For gods sake is nobody feeding these hipsters -for they are too weak to stand up at a decent live show. What is the world coming to today.
