Chaparral Elementary School

I personally loved this school. I attended it and I have to admit that they have a much better way of solving problems then the other schools I have attended.They give a moderation of strict and fun! My best childhood memories still remain there in those fancy colored halls. I recommend this school to anyone! I admit that traffic is bad but not everything is perfect and they really need to fire the secretary I was terrified of them as a child. But hey in Truman middle school none of the secretary know the schedule and when you pick them up they just tell you to go and find them. Yeah not so good. Some of the best teachers in New Mexico! Thanks to them I am a honors student! I owe a lot to that school! I have never heard anything about bullying in the school and if there is they handle it without going all crazy like expelling you for kicking a rock. .

Amazing school. My kids teachers have been amazing the past 2 years. the ISP program is great and so is REGC. I actually moved to this neighborhood just because of the school.

DO NOT SEND your children to this school. They would rather fail your children then help them succeed. The staff bullies the children. They do not care if you have a problem they will just say we can't do anything about it. They do not keep children safe.

I go to this school and it some times bad but its very fun the staff is doing there job i had the greatest teachers every im now in 5 i will be sad to leave this school

*****Warning, long rant ahead. We've tried to help our 3 year old with a developmental delay here with "child find". First year for her was good because the teacher "Ms.Bailey" was there and worked great with my child. However, next school year her old teacher left and was replaced with the woman who is in charge of the special education preschool, this woman has no idea what she is doing and just ruined everything we had been working for with my daughter. I told the woman that I will just keep my daughter home till they have a permanent replacement. Few weeks later they told me they had a replacement for my daughter, only to find out it was a man... Nope, not letting a man take care of my daughter when she was still struggling with potty situations. So they transferred her to another class. This teacher was kind and meant well, but I feel like she was outnumbered and didn't always have help. The therapists were somewhat helpful and good to my child, but someone (I don't know who) kept telling my daughter she held a pencil wrong and was forcing her hand. This led my daughter to cry and be scared of coloring, writing, or drawing ANYTHING on paper for about a year (After we took her out of this place and I worked with her at home). So that was my experience while my child was there, the horrible service continued long after this. I have another child who developmentally delayed. So we signed her up to be evaluated and get an IEP here. We soon learned that we will be moving out of state but already got everything ready for the IEP at this school, so we thought we could just get it started and continue the rest in Colorado (where we currently are). The woman taking the test (who is EXTREMELY rude and not nice to my child, which I don't take lightly), for my daughter was told that we are moving, and at first she didn't seem to mind, we did some more appointments with her and on the last appointment we reminded her that we are moving and she reacted like we are morons and that we never mentioned it before (Maybe she just ignored us the first time?). After she left she called my husband and told us that we can't get the IEP. So we wasted time on this apparently, when we asked if we could have our older daughters ALREADY EXSISTING IEP (She did take classes for a while here so there is quite an extensive record) they DECLINED TO GIVE IT TO US. They said to provide the info to the school and they will give it to the school that they will be going to. Well, we told the new school and district about this and they are having trouble getting the IEP now. If anyone working in this school is reading this, please pay attention... Don't be lazy, it's your job to help OUR children, don't act like we are wasting your time. It's people like this that made me and my family move, I am serious, we moved from New Mexico to Colorado for better treatment of our kids.
