Stacie Lopez: Rio Rancho public schools are outstanding and Sandia Vista is no exception to that rule. It has been a wonderful experience for my two young children, ages five and seven. Their teachers have been extremely nurturing and supportive. There is a huge support team at this school that go out of their way to address any special needs your children may have. I especially admire the Principle, Dr. Cruz, whom always has a smile on her face and brings so much fun to the atmosphere. Her interaction with children and parents is outstanding.
The school is beautiful and still very new. The building was constructed between three and four years ago.
Crowding has not been an issue at this particular school as there are many nieghborhoods yet to be complete in the area.
I have so far had nothing but positive experiences dealing with the school. I feel my children are getting a wonderful education and they have both been very happy attending Samdia Vista.
