My school was fun through my sophomore a to senior year, I developed great relationships with the staff and I'm glad I was able to look for them for guidance. Some parts where difficult like moving to Santa Fe and adjusting to the new environment but i was able to get passed that and finish this year strong.

During my time at Santa Fe High I had a mixed experience. If youre intrested in bettering your education you will find great AP and Honors Teachers. However, the same cannot be said for teachers for regular courses who are. unengaged and could care less. The school offers a wide variety of of culture and personalities. The school however lacks certian provision that could hinder some students. This school does offer a variety of courses and opportunities and is recomend. for those who would like to branch out out and learn a variety of Stimuli .

This school is a very unbalanced school. My niece had come home from school furious eexplaining to me that security keeps being called on her for "riding her skateboard" and then they rip it out of her hands when she has evidence from multiple teachers and students that she wasnt on it. The educatio...
