I dont know where to start! New Mexico has the worst schools in the country, and Raton schools are rated as one of the worst in New Mexico. That should tell you how bad they are! The school counselor is really good, and some of the teachers are good, however that is about it. The kids are bad here. There is no curriculum. Sometimes they sit and watch movies all day. Also they have to pay to go here. They always collect "fees". Technology fees, senior class fees, fees to come to school and watch a movie, I could go on and on! It is a mess!! I don't know what the administration does with all their money that they need to collect all this money, but its a mess.

I've told my daughters to focus in learning and school activities rather then on the bad comments and badactions of other students!
