Garfield Middle School 3501 6th Street Northwest, Albuquerque, NM 87107

"I have had great experiences send both of my children to Garfield. While the school is in need of some updates. The teachers and the staff are wonderful with the students. As in my family there have been multiple generations that have attended Garfield. In his attending Garfield my son has decided that he want to be an engineer; he was taught the many aspects of robotics, engineering, computer science, and leadership along with many more."

"This is our first year at Garfield and it hasn't been easy with virtual learning. But the team at Garfield is organized and really communicates well. The classroom format is great to follow kids homework and easy to use. Most of the teachers were well versed in it. We can't wait to be back to in-person learning and all of the after school activities!!"

"The staff is very supporting of the students & works to help the students realize their potential. The Leadership program works to support the STEM part of the school with drones, rockets & 3D printers. The program has many after school programs, such as archery, drill, color guard, PT just to name a few. The Leadership program has a curriculum that not only teaches students how to become tomorrow's leaders today, but works to build a community that supports each other."

"Garfield is a great little school in the North Valley. I think it could use some remodeling/updating as it was built in the early 50’s. The school is filled with amazing teachers. Multiple generations have attended the school and are grateful for the relatively new STEM theme. As a community school, families have access to a variety of resources to meet their needs. The school offers a great variety of activities. Check this school out if your student is interested in project based learning and STEM focus."

"An excellent hidden gem of a magnet school. Great mix of neighborhood and transfer students make this an up and coming school of excellence! The teachers are thoughtful, caring, and create great learning experiences for their students. Project Lead the Way at every grade level as well as integration of the Design Process, Engineering Habits of Mind, and Project Based Learning across the content areas. Small class sizes, sports, clubs, and after school activities, too!"
