I like Santa Fe, because it is a very small community and everyone is so friendly. It is like one big family and the teachers actually take time to help students and they love to interact with the students.

I love this school. It has so many friendly faces and nice people. I was a new student this year and everyone made me feel like I was at home. It's amazing that everyone here knows each other and gets along. I love giving the younger kids high fives down the hall too. Overall, it may be small, but don't judge a book by it's cover. This place is the best place to be.

The teachers are very involved with students to make sure each students understands the curriculum. The small size of the school makes this easy. One thing that I would like to see change is how teachers get replaced when they leave. This takes time and the new teachers are usually not used to give the extra time to students. This time period of adjustment is difficult on both teacher and student.

If students don't have books and materials they need to learn or teachers that care about teaching or reconize students that have learning issues. They are just hurting children. With teachers and principles that doesn't care to listen to your concerns it becomes frustrating. Shame on you for lettin...

My husband, myself, my son and now my daughter goes to this school. I use to love Santa Fe. I am so disappointed in the school's leadership (principal) and taking away things from the students, including the very few good teachers that are left. There are some "bully" teachers there and nothing seem...
