Osuna Elementary School

Posted: August 28, 2019

Each year has different expectations for homework and there is little cohesiveness in this area. Each teacher, however, has had a quality homework plan.

With kids at Osuna for 5 years now we have never once had a bad or even mediocre teacher. Each and everyone is amazing! Twice we have had a teacher new to Osuna that year and even those were amazing... they really know how to pick them and the quality of the school draws quality candidates!

I am a teacher elsewhere is the district and Osuna kids, family and staff amaze me all the time. It really is a family with the aim of growing our kids into the best people they can be!

Staff, PTA and community work together seamlessly!

Great gifted program! I do not have experience with the support for children with disabilities but know that students are encourage to show love and respect to all school and classmates regardless of ability.

Kids really watch out for each other. Bullying issues are addressed before they escalate in to large problems.

Amazing! I could not hope for a better school environment, educators or peers for my children! I am thankful everyday for Osuna being my kids' school!

Communication from teachers is amazing and they care what happens to their students both academically and socially

Excellent! The teachers and staff are amazing and they make sure that all the kids feel included! My children are learning that integrity matters! It is truly a community!

The teachers are responsive and supporting. They highlight the best in each child. Staff turn over tends to be low. We in three years w/ 2 kids we have not had a single teacher I would not rate as excellent. Grade level teachers work closely together making the experience great no matter which teacher you get! Support teachers PE, art, gifted etc are also great!

I am an work elsewhere in the district. I am amazed by the respect and positive attitude of the students every time I volunteer at Osuna. My favorite thing is waiting the older kids help and encourage younger kids on the play ground before and after school.

We have a new principal this year and she is simply amazing! She has brought new excitement and life to an already thriving school!

I don't have a lot of experience with this area of the school but I know my children have been supported with their unique needs.

Administration and counselor are great! Very responsive.

Different teacher teachers have different styles. My children have not experienced any "extremes" however.

Posted: March 2, 2018

Osuna has been a dream come true for us. The school is truly a community of kids, teachers and parents all working together to help our kids to be the best students and people they can be. We could not be happier! The PTA, family involvement and dedication of the teachers makes this and amazing place for my kids to grow and learn!

This school has a fabulous administration and PTA and other parent volunteer organizations (like the WatchDogs) as well as a well-run, organized after school program.

School seems focused on raising good citizens.

Posted: March 1, 2017

Different teachers - most are very good but there is always one that one child might not do the best with.

Posted: March 1, 2017

Different teachers have flexibility to do things their own way - I've seen both extremes over my children's 7 years attending.

My three children attended Osuna and I like a lot about the school - especially the very involved PTA, parent volunteers and high quality staff and administration. They also have fabulous after school programs and extracurriculars for students. Like all schools, there are some teachers who are better than others and some kids will thrive more than others in their environment. But overall it is a safe, friendly, well organized school who does it's best to help students thrive and enjoy their time.

Our son started at a private school which did not meet our expectations. We moved him mid-semester of kindergarten to Osuna and it is the best decision we could have made. This is a great school with an engaged administration and staff. Our son is in fourth grade now and every teacher he has had has been amazing. There is good communication with home, and a high level of parent involvement. In addition Osuna offers several extracurricular clubs and activities which is unusual for Albuquerque elementary schools.

We've been at Osuna going on about 5 years now. As a meddlesome parent, I have been impressed over the years at the number of parent volunteers I see helping out around campus on a daily basis, as well as those who show up to help out for field trips or at special events like Jog-A-Thon or Science Fair or Talent Night. And unlike some places I have been, Dads make up a more than token number of the volunteers. The Osuna PTA raises over $14,000 each year to help fund special events and services for the teachers and students at Osuna--and Osuna is NOT in a rich part of town. I've seen how hard those PTA volunteers and Osuna parents have to work to scrape that money together. As for academics, so far we have been very pleased. Our kid got high scores on all the SBA tests, and the math curriculum that is now used is much MUCH better than the one that was used before. The reading program is also very good. Our kid's teachers have been excellent on keeping us informed about what is happening in the classroom. Most of the teachers at Osuna are excellent. There are a couple I would call only good. The bad ones assigned to the school don't last more than a year, because word gets out.

We found the teachers our children had at Osuna to be lax on education and grades. The foundation of the education they were receiving was minimal in effort and approach. Parent involvment was little to none the years we were there. The Principal was unable to hold conversations in an adult manner. We left and found that Sombra Del Monte's teachers are organized, caring and the Principal is a wonderful woman.
