This is the most disappointing school Ive ever attended. They claim to care about mental health but when it really hits the fan they tuck their tails and give sorry apologies. Where was that ‘I’m better than you’ energy then? They don’t take bullying seriously in any sense of the word, they’d rather let you get seriously injured before they intervene. This is one sad excuse for a school. I’ve learned more from the real world and other programs than I EVER had in my years there.

This school, despite many of it's faults, has been able to cultivate an environment of learning and growth. As mentioned by some reviewers, there are fights between the students that do occur. I believe that this schools new principal - Dr. Baker - is working hard to eliminate conflicts between students. I hope to see this school to improve in the following years.

I have worked in both Miami-Dade Public Schools and Broward Public Schools for 23 years and Tombaugh is hands down superior in all respects. Family is involved in many facets of the childrens' education, administrators and teachers are approachable and helpful, teachers are respectful, enthusiastic about teaching, and supportive of all students, high achieving or not. Frequent communications to parents keep them "in the loop" and opportunities for feedback are offered. My granddaughter loves going to school, and that's the most important endorsement.

The focus of the school goes beyond providing education for students--it helps students plan their future. Students are required to adapt quick to the school environment, where regular classes go twice as fast compared to other schools that surrounds it because the course is only one semester long instead of two semesters. Because of that, students almost complete their high school graduation requirements while still being a sophomore! Students spend their remaining two years working on their Associate's degree, and most of them, if they do not change career paths, even get to work in their Bachelor's degree for their last semester of their high school senior year! The school pays for all college expenses, high school classes are really of good help, the school is guarded by charismatic securities all the time, has the most wonderful yet small campus in New Mexico, and students have access to different technological tools--there are IPad tablets and laptops available in almost every classroom, almost every classroom contains three good-quality smart boards that are located around the classroom, there is a Mac lab available for students, and laptops available for check out for students if they need access to one from home. To conclude, it was a great exeprience and I love the different engineering, medical, criminal justice, along with other careers, that the school offers. Your kid will obtain a good education here and will be helped by the school to go beyond just a high school graduation. Although the school name, grade level, and contact info are incorrect. I was a junior when it was finally from grade levels 9-12. Now it is called Arrowhead Park Early College High School, from grade levels 9-12, and the address is now 3600 Arrowhead Dr, Las Cruces, NM, 88011, which is in the New Mexico State University area and just a few blocks away from its previous location. I hope this gets fixed.
