I came to Tierra Encantada freshman year of high school. This school was the first "big" school that I had ever been to in my entire life. Coming from a middle school of a total of 20 people in the entire school, the switch to Tierra was terrifying to me. Yet, I was welcomed in with open arms and I have had a wonderful experience thus far. The teachers are very welcoming and helpful. It is a wonderful school overall, I don't think I would change anything.

The new administration is inconsistent. Before, things would get done quick. Now it takes weeks to handle requests, input, and student business. The quality of teaching has gone down as well. There is an issue with teachers showing up late, not knowing about the subject they teach, and not knowing how to teach the subject. The most frustrating change about the school is that they advertise themselves as a "dual language, project based/expeditionary school." The Spanish department likes to leave out a majority of their non native Spanish speakers because they cannot speak Spanish as well as the other students. When it comes to being a project based and expeditionary school many students were not engaged in field work, camping trips, and service learning like the school promises. As far as preparatory, I don't feel like this school properly prepares graduating students for a college or working life.
