This is my childs first year in middle school. We attended a different middle school in the beginning and transferred. ABMS was so great with the transfer. The teachers made sure she knew and understood material and helped guide her through her transfer as well as first year of middle school. Her grades are improving and she is excited to learn and go to school everyday!

Worst school imaginable. Went here in eighth grade from 2022-2023 and was bullied by the students whose parents raised horrifically wrong and faculty who reward horrible students for following the exact same way they do things. Learned next to nothing as the only things taught were things we already knew or completely invaluable things that were scrapped within high school. Also was assaulted several times to which the school was contacted about and either sought out some way to justify the other students actions or would completely disregard the situation at hand OR would receive the call and lie and promise a callback that would never occur. Ended up finishing my school year passing and moving to another county after pushing another student who threatened to commit a school shooting act upon me and my friends and also insulted my dead grandmother, thank the lord that I was able to get out of there. If you can avoid sending your kid to this school, please, do so as there was nothing positive about this school at all.

When it comes to the teachers responding back to you via email or answering machine it might take 2 it 3 days. I assume its due to them having so much on their plate without much volunteer assistance.

My child was accepted into the IEP program and the teachers have been great in assisting her on subjects she struggles with.

Over All, I pretty much like the school. The teachers there gave advice on how to assist my kids when they struggle in certain subjects. The only 2 issue I have is: they need to post ALL the after school activities they offer and provide a link that gives detailed info about it. I only find out about other activities after talking with parents that have kids participating in them.

It excels in education, its programs for children in education is great. They will also work with you if your child needs assistance and/or IEP. The teachers are friendly and so is the staff. The only problem I have with the school is it isn't very good with bullying and discipline.

I am very pleased with the level of professionalism from the administration. They communicate with parents. My daughter loves going to school and excels in this learning environment. Very pleased!
