GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I knew transferring my child to a public school would be difficult, but I didn't realize how difficult. The fact that our concerns are dismissed is alarming. The fact that many of the teachers are sub-par is shocking. The fact that much of the administration does not strive for excellence is unacceptable. I'm saddened that the school has failed on so many levels.

The experience overall has been fine enough. A few of my teachers did not know how to teach and considering the class they were trying to teach were AP classes, I would imagine that that be something they know how to do. I would've appreciated teachers who knew how to teach for these classes specifically, so I could have a better chance at understanding the subject and passing the AP test. Apart from those teachers the, all others were exceptional and made the overall experience better.

They do not address the bullying at this school whatsoever. If the kid who is bullying is in sped they will make it look like the other child is the cause or put the blame on other children.

I graduated from Las Cruces High School in 2012 after transferring from a rather affluent school in Albuquerque where I had been mercilessly harassed and bullied. I absolutely adored Cruces and to this day am thankful that I attended there. Although the school has a (somewhat deserved) reputation fo...
