The best part about Aztec high school was the college visits because it gives me options to choose from if I want to go to college and they also provided food for us. The worst part about the high school was the unfairness in giving punishments like if some people got in trouble other people that didn't do anything will be punished. I would change the poor communication between admin and teachers.

What i like about Aztec High School is the connection with the teachers and students, they are all friendly and helpful when it comes to graduation or getting ready for college. A change i would like to see is more involvement from students. It is so easy to get in contact with teachers if you need help and also the councilors are great and helpful as well as inspiring.

If the teachers arnt trying to sleep with stuidents they are doing absolutely nothing to give your kid an education. Take them to Vista Nueva for a better education. I had a horrible experience when I went to Aztec School.

We moved from out of state, where my child previously had a detailed IEP. The school claimed they never received the files from the previous school. I provided copies of all records and again they claim to not be able to find them. The IEP written for my child was lacking all of the services needed...
