They don’t let you speak your opinions, teach you useless things and you get in trouble for the most basic things! The conditions are questionable, as some things seem like they haven’t been cleaned in ages. The cafeteria is even worse! The food is sometimes raw.

Genuinely one of the worst schools I’ve had to go in,every kid is vaping in bathrooms,bullying each other,or just being downright disrespectful to teachers. The school punishes everyone but the actual students doing the wrongs. I was struggling with suicidal thoughts and half of the time I wasn’t allowed to go to the counselors office,or just get help in general.the only time they actually cared was when my mom had to pull me out of the school because I had a mental breakdown.

Beautiful new building. Staff willing to help. I like this school. Tough on them because only 7th & 8th grade, so 50% turnover each year; I think that makes it hard on them. Overall, received excellent service from all

This is our second year at AMS, and we are very happy. It is an old school and in need of updates, but the teachers, staff and principal are very involved. I highly encourage parents to attend meetings and be involved. Its really all about "the more you know". My son is very involved in sports, and taking high school credit courses. We have had a good experience.

This school is alright. But the Vice principal is very suspicious of all colored races espeacially because he spends most of his time spying on them during lunch.

This is probably the best school yet. Even though it is an old one, it is a great school!
