Hope Christian School

This school is amazing! My child attended the middle and high school. She was doing terribly in public school and now she is flourishing. Teachers are great and students are respectful.

This is an incredibly sexist school and does not punish kids for valid reasons. The administration forces kids to comply with unfair and unjust rules (such as dress code, talking in class or in chapel, etc) and does not take in account of kids feelings which makes them feel less important. They have forgotten the true meaning of the rules. They have gotten worse with dress code and rules each following year. The administration repetitively informs the students that they are trying to help you, but don't make any effort to encourage students that they target, (kids who have trouble upholding every rule in the hand book with no warning from other teachers) which causes the students more stress and depression. I would not advise sending your children here.-Joseph Lynch

This school is horrible! We had such high hopes coming in and literally fled from there beyond disappointed. Our child was worse off in so many ways for having gone there. There are few alternatives to Albuquerque Public Schools (APS), so parents flock to HOPE and settle for it - even turning a blind eye to poor quality teaching, lack of real Christian values, and a damaging/toxic environment for kids, especially kids that really are Christians. The leadership ignores real issues and complaints while patting themselves on the backs in blatent disregard of issues.Homeschool is a WAY better option if you are considering this place.

I attended this school a couple of years ago and I have a couple things to say, the education was pretty but now let's get into the severe racism and sexism if you want to go to this school as a girl who is black I would suggest choosing a different school. When I went to this school as a black girl teachers had assumed that I had parental problems and that my life was going the wrong because apparently I didn't have a father. Me and my siblings were constantly verbally attacked with stereotypes and slurs. I would be walking around and someone would yell at giving me dirty looks and asking me if I was going to play basketball or run track. It was time for us to watch a presentation so the teacher had asked me to turn off the lights and once I did the white boys had yelled "where did ******** go?!" saying I had disappeared from the room. Whenever I would wear an all black outfit the boys would ask me why i'm not wearing any clothes. Then when I was in class learning about history, more specifically slavery, I would always get looks or be asked if I know anything about the slavery or the teacher would apologize for her ancestors treating my ancestors like that. If there was a word that they didn't know how to pronounce, the teacher would ask me how to say it assuming that was my "language". Any other black person who was there the students would ask if we are either related or dating. Lastly, for sports I was on varsity for every sport I did especially track the coach himself had said that he knew I had more energy in me since my ancestors had run a long way so I should be used to it. When I asked for a water break the coach said that he thought i was used to not drinking water frequently, that is a quote. I wouldn't recommend going if you are black
