Research Gonzales Elementary School Public Schools in Santa Fe, New Mexico

“My daughter has just left Gonzales after 3 years, unfortunately the school was unable to address my child's need for accelerated learning in several areas. Despite high test scores the school would not provide any enhancement in specific areas such as Math and reading.”

“My Daughter is 6 years old and is a student at Gonzales. My daughter is reading on her own. As a parent I think Gonzales is a great School. GO LOBOS”

“Very poor school - but probably representative of New Mexico public education. Academic standards extremely low. Principal is not effective and hasn't addressed some serious issues at the school - endemic bullying problems occuring there, with little effort to address the issues. No organized physical education program. Some very good teachers, but also very poor ones as well.”

“Gonzales is a great community school. Mr. Lee (principal) and his staff work very hard to make each kid feel part of the larger school community. Mr. Lee encourages Parent involvement in all levels of the school. Gonzales PTC sponsored an art teacher before the district provided funding, showing committement to having a range of activities for children.”

“This school has consistently excellent teachers, principal and support staff. There are lots of extra grant funded programs (NDI, Music, art, cooking for kids. Consistently upheld behavioral expectations create a decent environment for the kids. Gonzales is not responsible for the lack of SPED services. That is due to the Districts inability to hire qualified providers of auxilliary services.”

“Our child qualifies for special ed and is receiving no services in the classroom. She has been failed in several classes, and has been penalized over and over for her disablity. If you view the testing scores at www.greatschools.net/modperl/browse_school/nm/print/666 you will see that this school is failing miserably in nearly every subject.”
