Sandia High School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-10-14 “My husband and I did a lot of research with the local high schools when deciding where to send our three children. We picked Sandia because of the curriculum, balance and diversity, and felt the curriculum challenged them. I had two children that were athletes and one child that chose to participate in other extracurricular activites other than sports. They were all treated equally by the teachers and staff administration, a few coaches in one sport only were questionable with fairness. Never were they treated differently by teachers or counselors because one was an athlete and one wasn't. The current principal and past principal have done awesome jobs. In 2007/2008 school year, Sandia High school was recognized nationally as one of the top high schools to attend in the United States. My third child graduated last year, and if the standards and reputation stay the same, my grandchildren will attend Sandia” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-09-09 “Excellent high school and reputation!!!” Posted By: student Quality Score: 3 2008-07-04 “I graduated in 20006, and this school, like most in albquerque has its general problems. The admin staff and councelors are of little help a majority of the time. And yes, they do tend to be more apt to help athetes and the athletic programs than to update science labs and the art department. The advisors did little to help me prepare for college. I was told that i would qualify the the lottery scholarship and little else was done to help me in the way of applying for college, note: i had a 3.9 gpa and i scored a 27 overall on my ACT with a 29 in math and a 28 in science. The teachers vary from being very helpful to basically hating students and teaching. I did not have many problems with other students, but they do exist but i think they are lower than other schools” Posted By: other Quality Score: 1 2008-03-29 “Gee, if you look at the comments about this school they have gone from very favorable to less the compimentary as the years have gone by. May be Albuquerque Public Schools should look at their selection of an overal administration at Sandia HS. Leadership starts at the top and works down....not from the students to the administration!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-03-04 “We moved into this area specifically for this high school for our daughter; what a mistake! Thinking that the reputation of Sandia as being one of the best in the APS system would assist our child in getting a good education has proven to be erronous at best and even potentially harmful. The counseling staff has acted unprofesssionally on several occassions, and the asst. principal and principal have done nothing but deny and confront when this has been brought to their attention. As soon as this school yr is over, we are out of this dangerous place!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-09-27 “Although my children are only freshman I have enjoyed the school. The teachers are very accessible and my kids seem to be happy. We are transfer students and we chose our shcool very carefully. So far I think we have made a good choice. I can get an updated grade check and speak to teachers whenever I want. My son plays football and they check his grades weekly. The coaches are great and hold the kid responsible. So far so good!!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-08-22 “sandia is a great school! its very classy and well kept. i admire the diversity in the school and the way it conducts its teachings. it is probably one of the best, if not the best high schools in the city.” Posted By: other Quality Score: 1 2007-08-04 “I have just retired from this school and am very happy to out of the clutches of the the head principal. This school has gone from great to less the desireable.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2006-12-11 “I am somewhat of a stepfather figure to 3 children who have or are attending this school.It is in my option a school that does not care about the no child left behind act as they do not enforce truancy. I have a stepson who missed several weeks of school and we never received a phone call. We now have a daughter who is an aide and is not required to be there or if required not be on time. Some of her requirements for this class is to run and get Starbucks or breakfast. This is very discouraging to me and an argument that never settles AS my previous address let me enroll them in a better school but was outvoted. I hope the parents get more involved with this school as I have seen the problems and have tried to talk to the personal with no results.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2006-04-10 “I graduated from Sandia. It is one of the best, if not the best High School in Albuquerque. The teachers are great and so is the administration. The security is great too. I never felt unsafe at school. There is a great racial diversity at Sandia and enough groups and activities for anyone to fit into. Sandia's music, athletic, and drama programs are some of the best in the state. The campus is well kept. Great school!” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2006-02-25 “Sandia is a great school. I come from a family of nine graduates from sandia high school. The eldest was in the first class to graduate from sandia. I have four children that graduated from sandia high school. The teachers and the administers are great. This school is one of the best in albuquerque. As said in my graduating year of 1976. 'Once a matador always a matador'. Thank you for the great memories... I am very proud to say i went to sandia high school.... My kids graduated from sandia. Good job .. It was a wonderful experience being involved in football, cheerleading and softball. We had a wonderful time .” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-12-24 “I sent my 3 children to Sandia. One is in college, the other two are still there. They love their school. There are very happy with the principal,the faculty and the basketball caoching staff, both girls and boys. I am satisfied with their education and have great respect for the principal. It is one of the top public school in town and although not the perfect school--is there any perfect school-- I am happy my kids are schooled there. Racism? My kids,who are black,have had no complaints in 5 years.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2005-05-16 “I am a former student of this school. It is a typical school in which it is more apt to fund sports programs than decent books and extra curricular activities for non athletics. There are teachers of great brilliance. There is a diverse student population and many different types of clicks for students to fall into. Violence and drugs are not rampant, but also not unheard of. As far as education goes, it is a personal choice for the student on how much they want to learn here. In my class there was a student who got a perfect 1600 on the SAT s. That same year we had record drop out rates. All in all, I feel that this era of development allowed me the freedom of a kid entering into maturity.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-08-03 “This is an exelent school. The teachers care. The principle is exellent. The activities are great. the security is good and high. it is a safe good school and a great learning enviroment” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2004-06-02 “There is rampant racial discrimination in this public school. My child was harassed, threatened and had to leave school. There are too many students and not enough security. I removed her from this school and will home-school her.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-04-20 “Sandia is one of the top public high schools in Albuquerque. It has great diversity in the student body. Many of the faculty members have been at Sandia more than 20 years. The parents are supportive but could get a little more involved. It's a very spread out campus but their campus security covers it well and are respected by the students. Sandia has one of the largest special education enrollments in APS. They have many gifted special ed teachers. Their band and chorus are top rated as are most of their athletic teams. The students blend well together. There is a high level of tolerance for others since the student body is so diverse. All in all a great school for students wanting a real education in a socially and culturally diverse atmosphere.” Posted By: Quality Score: 4 2003-05-25 “Sandia is a great school. I love that my daughter goes to one of the best schools in the city.”
