Zuni hills is hands down the BEST school in the district. I am a mom of 5. My oldest son started at Zuni the year the opened when they had the developmental preschool both my oldest son and daughter have promoted on from Zuni into high school and are kind responsible productive adults and I think that is in huge part to their time at Zuni. I currently have 3 that attend Zuni in 1st, 6th and 7th grade and I could not be happier. I just love the staff and that my education my kids get. I highly recommend Zuni hills.

I have 2 students at Zuni Hills and I am very happy with the academic, social, and emotional growth I’ve seen in them. Zuni Hills staff went above and beyond during the toughest COVID years to ensure their students were taken care of and educated to the best of their abilities. Mrs. Lynch has changed the climate of the school in such a positive way. Not only has she updated the building physically by improving security and aesthetics, she continue to hire highly qualified teachers, positively impacting the educational environment for all students across campus.

We have had a great experience at Zuni! The atmosphere is welcoming, my child enjoys going to school, and I feel in the loop about what is going on throughout the year.

My daughter is a Kindergartener at Zuni Hills Elementary and I could not ask for a better first year school experience for her. She absolutely loves going to school and looks forward to going each day. Her Kindergarten teacher is so kind, caring, dedicated and has such a gift of teaching children. The administration, office staff, nurse/nurse assistant and all teachers on campus truly care about the students who attend the school. They are all highly qualified, kind and courteous and show up each day trying their hardest to educate and positively impact the students lives. The community is supportive and will always come together. The school works hard to put on fun and exciting events year round for the families to come and enjoy with their children. Zuni Hills does a great job of communicating with families of all updates and upcoming dates by email and on the schools Facebook page, it is a great way to feel in the loop and connected. I have been extremely happy and comfortable sending my daughter each day. I would highly recommend Zuni Hills Elementary to any parent who is searching for a great K-8th school for their child!

Zuni Hills is an exceptional school! I had heard great things about this school way before my little one started, so there was no doubt in my mind that is where he would go. Now that he is here, I get it! I get why so many people speak so highly of this school. The staff and community really do make it the best learning environment. My son is thriving and creating the best memories! I would recommend (and constantly do) this school to anyone who lives in the area.

Since 2020 (our oldest was in kindergarten), we have had such a positive experience at Zuni Hills. The teachers my children have had have been wonderful! You can tell the teachers want to teach because of the children they will impact. Despite the change in teaching for the first 1.5 months during 2020 school year, I have been impressed with what my children have learned and the excitement they have about going to school. Our teachers have been engaging, optimistic, energetic, and properly challenging our kids. Also, Mrs. Lynch, the school principal, is clearing wanting to positively impact our children as well. She has been very supportive of students, families, teachers, and the staff at the school. We feel very blessed to be at Zuni Hills!

Zuni Hills has been a wonderful school for my children. We’ve had amazing teachers thus far. My children enjoy going to school and have enjoyed everything they have to offer. The principle has excellent leadership skills along with core morals and values that she is bringing forth to the students. My children feel safe there and I feel that it is a safe learning environment. It is clean and welcoming to students.

i have only been going to this school since january 2022 but i already hate this school. most of the teachers could care less about us, my friend gets bullied severely and has been for a while now and all my old math teacher had to say is “he isn’t getting bullied. look up the definition of bullying.” when in merriam-webster dictionary the definition of bully is to treat someone in a cruel, insulting, threatening, or aggressive fashion, which my friend is treated cruelly daily, they never get a break from the bullying. not only does he get made fun of and mocked so do i!! ever since i moved there people would pick on me and talk bout me behind my back, and it only got worse from there. the teachers do NOTHING . i could go on and on about all the other things but i won’t so if your thinking of sending your child to this school, please don’t.

If you have a special needs child I would strongly recommend finding another placement before putting your child here.

My daughter had a great experience at Zuni Hills. The 7th and 8th grade teachers are awesome. Mr. Sulch, Mrs. Steele, Mrs. Gorman, Mrs. Kwant, Ms. Hill and Mrs. Kluyt( Mrs. Weimar too-and many more I cannot remember!) have all worked hard to get my daughter ready for high school.

Zuni Hills is a great place to work and to learn! It has highly qualified teachers who always try to do their best to help the students be successful. There are many things that are happening at the school like Character Assemblies, a Read-A-Thon, Donuts with Dad, Muffins with Mom, Daddy/Daughter Dance, STEM Night (science), and much more. Many parents volunteer at the school and help with coping paper, reading with students, testing, helping with field trips and class parties. The administration is amazing. This is our best year yet!

My son has had the best experience of his academic life here at Zuni Hills. Despite having learning difficulties, he is working above grade level in reading and working at grade level in math. He is a happier student with more confidence. Their arts programs are inclusive and accessible to every student and their community involvement activities are awesome. We couldn't have asked for better teachers and staff! Their front office employees are ALWAYS smiling, kind, and helpful! We are PROUD to be Grizzlies and happy to be making this our BEST YEAR EVER!

This school has such a caring staff. I am so pleased with the culture of this school.

The children and parents associated with this school have no regard for their community. It's disgraceful. I care more for my children than to let them attend this school.
