Research Desert Ridge Middle School public Schools in Santa Fe, New Mexico

“The classes are competitive and the teachers provide an outstanding education. There aren't many sports opportunities for students, however.”

“Being a former student, I know that Desert Ridge is most definitely the best middle school ever. The quality of the academic programs is supreme, and kids have excellent opportunities to work at their level, and the gifted program is splendid. Music, art, sports, and other extracurricular activities are very available, and the parents are completely involved. The teachers are amazing, and really know their stuff. The homework they give really allows the kids to know and comprehend what they're doing and why.”

“I feel that the school is very well organized. The school overall is very good. But the one thing that the school lacks is spirit. I know many schools with low test averages but have very high spirit levels. Having a good spirit to come to school is as important than tests itself. If a student does not want to come to school than how can he/she take the test? The same applies to shirt tucking in and uniforms (if this ever occurs) This will make the students despise coming to school more, thus leading to a poor grade. If the students choose to like school they will do better. This is what I feel and if they make these simple corrections they would be the very best school in the united states of america. And I would also like to say I like Mickey Brown. Than is all. Bye.”

“This school is very serious about there academics like most schools are but Desert Ridge is a very ordinary school if you ask me.”

“Wonderful teached involvement at 6th grade level. Very good art and music programs. Excellent parent participation.”

“Desert Ridge was the best school I have ever been to. I learned so much and I had many friends. The teachers are wonderful and I am now a successful student in high school. When I have children, I am going to send them to Desert Ridge. This is one of the best schools in the country. The students are disaplined and respectable and extremeley smart. They always have the highest test scores in the state and in KMO we are always in the top 20 in the nation. This is the best middle school in New Mexico.”

“Although large in size, the teachers care very much about individual students and do their best to provide the instruction and personalized attention to each student. The staff, overall, is very qualified and goes beyond the call of duty with many innovative plans. The involvement and commitment of the teachers is extraordinary and it is a gorgeous, safe school.”

“Desert Ridge is a very well taught school. The teachers make it more easier to learn and have better ways of teaching. Desert Ridge is full of academics and learning.”

“DRMS is too crowded and it shows in most of the teachers lack of caring for students. The teachers motto is, 'If you don't understand the problem, ask a friend' and after that only ask a teacher for help as a last result.”
