We switched our child out of this school after a terrible 1'st grade experience. Our opinion of the principle, Ms. Weihe, is that she lacked integrity, and we felt she tried to bypass accountability for our child's welfare while gaslighting us. Our child's teacher was teaching a classroom of over 20 students without a secondary teacher helping them. There were multiple children in the classroom with clear emotional issues, and there were frequent reports of children fighting with each-other. Her methods of dealing with children were consistently punitive. Almost every week it seemed like something went wrong in our child's classroom or at recess. One day a child cracked his head open and was bleeding from his head. Ambulances came to the school to take the child to the hospital. Not a word about it was said. The teacher only expressed that the children had "a tough week" and she wanted to give them a pizza party at the end of the week. Our child started hating school and even expressed suicidal language early on in the school year. We wanted to get our child moved to a different classroom but were told it was not going to happen despite all of these things. The classroom reached temperatures of 90+ degrees early in the school year. This year we have found a much better school, but we are still dealing with the fallout of the damage caused by last year. There are so many things that were wrong about MVES that I couldn't possibly put them all here. There are 'some' great teachers at the school, but unfortunately that doesn't make the school better as a whole.

Wally is one of the best you could ask for. He brings a wealth of knowledge to my child and makes him laugh!

My oldest son who is a senior at sandia high has done so well in school even with a slight learning disability in math .He will graduate with a 3.5 GAP this year .He got his start at Monte vista from K to 5th it was a great school for us . I never aging felt so closes to teachers and the path of my sons academic success for the rest of his years in school. my younger son will be 5 this year and we intend to move back to the UNM community witch is really home any way So the little one can start Monte Vista and his brother who 12 years ago was in kindergarten at Monte vista can start UNM.

Monte Vista has some of the best teachers I have ever encountered, a supportive community, and an administration that helps the teachers be creative and flexible in their teaching methods. But it is really the teachers that make the school. They are without parallel.
