Terrible so much schoolwork and students are not capable of keeping up unless you're stuck to the screen all day or cheat and everyone does it there to keep up. there is no help when it comes to the counselors they don't like to help you when struggling with mental health. Teacher in smart lab was a perv. Teachers are rude and like to criticize anything that is available. And they don't like to help at all!!! If your kid struggles with mental health wouldn't recommend this school because they do nothing to help or even try to change things. If possible give a zero rating!!!!!

I like the independence and the freedom that is given at Taos Academy. When you reach junior year you get to take dual credit classes at UNM Taos, giving them college credit. However, one thing that is not great is that you are not in a typical classroom setting and therefore may have diffiuclty learning how to study.
