I agree with the last post this place seemed alright at first. Looks can be deceiving unchecked bullying favoritism. New kids will get that unwanted treatment while staff looks away. Dont be fooled by the Facebook smiles and select students photos. This place uses various good ol boy tactics to make your stay unpleasant if they feel your not playing ball. Parents especially of interracial children very light skinned children this is hostile environment. Expect your child to be subject to extreme verbal bullying name-calling each and every day in class. This school likes to use the you know how kids are excuse. My kid went from happy to demoralized overnight. Look at the reviews and local news reports.

At first I thought this would be a great school for my children. I'd hoped that it would encourage them to be proud of their biracial ethnicity and be confident and appreciate their differences, as well as receive a proper education. Sadly this is not the case. My children were ridiculed for being light of complexion by other students, when on occasion they were called white and the issues are never properly addressed. Im so very disappointed and I will be removing them from this school next year.

My son just started the Kindergarten program and he is excelling. The Principal, teachers, and parents are highly motivated and involved. I am so proud to be affiliated with the school. Originally my husband and I were looking at sending him to a private school but did our research and settled on ACCS. I could not be happier. The academics, wonderful warm environment, and dedicated teachers and staff all work closely with the Principal. The school really is a gem and I would recommend it to other parents for the safe keeping of their most precious assets.
