“both my daughter attend this school, one is gifted and the other has difficulty focusing. There needs to be more challanging gifted classes, as for students how need supplemental assistance, because it is a smaller school they do not have the budget to hire additional staff and only the 3 middle school teachers will stay once a week each. The assistant principle is great and will do whatever it takes to help.”

“Middle school never has AP classes. AP is for high school only. If you went to other middle schools in the surrounding area, you would see that Arroyo is one of the better schools. If you think it is bad, I encourage you to visit King MS and Irving MS, which are Bedlam in comparison. My kid loves it here after leaving Kings' graffiti infested classrooms.”

“Arroyo is on a growing trend. Our family has had the pleasure to work with dedicated teachers since Kindergarten. My boys this year have teachers new to the school who have been wonderful to partner with. Both have provided special projects that have proven both challenging and exciting. My third grader has excelled in Math and my fifth grader has been driven to go beyond his comfort zone in his favorite subjects of science and math. His teacher has given him the homework and projects to take him beyond great. As for the school, the parent involvement is growing with the establishment of a strong PTA. Also, museum science has been strongly incorporated into the curriculum of all grade levels and is celebrated with special events like Museum Day held this past Saturday. There is a wonderful docent program with The Southwest museum and The Audubon Center. Come visit.”

“This is a great school, it teaches students how to be responsible, academically and mentally. My daughter had learned a great deal at this school. I would reccomend this school to any parent for their children.”

“This school's standards based academic program is designed to allow student's to reach their full potential. The curriculum is rigorous and expectations of student achievement are high and instruction is differentiated to meet everyone's needs. The school has a museum science focus with a strong jr. docent program at the middle school level with the neighboring Southwest Museum. Classroom museums occur regularily among all grade levels. Arroyo Seco is an arts prototype school with weekly instruction in dance, drama, or visual arts and frequent arts related field trips. Parent groups have a large membership and parent volunteers at each grade level. My child not only attends Arroyo Seco, but I also am a teacher.”

“I selected Arroyo Seco for my daughter becuase it was a small school. With only 475 students. The downside of this school is that they do not have a gifted program or AP classes despite that the school is a Magnet School. The surrounding is very natural. With lots of trees. But you better get their early for parking. There is no parking!”

“The school education is very poor, and the teachers are not involde with the kids ecucation. They do not even have Math Books so my questions is were is the money going? The 6th grade class has 66 student in a two calssroom combined, with no structure for special needs kids, with 2 teachers only. Is this right and fair for the new students?”
