My kid attended this school last year and we really liked it. The teachers and office staff were very caring and they wanted what was best for the kids. My kids came in durning the middle of the school year and the teachers tired very hard to make them feel welcome and to catch them up with the class.

Read more they have been actively involved with all the children's activites and ADES was rated the TOP (let me repeat) the TOP school in the district for Reading and Math and received several awards this past year. The school does not turn down special needs children on purpose, they DISTRICT does not equip the school with the appropriate training or facilities for special needs, Pulaski County is horrible, but this school works VERY hard to help the children and the parents.

My child attended this school from k-3 grade. What a great experience. All of his teachers supported his learning and encouraged him to always to his best. My child has a lot of positive experiences from his time here at Arnold Drive. The only reason my child does not attend now, is we moved out

My daughter went to this school for her pre-k year. And it was possibly one of the worst years of both of our lives. The teachers didn't know how to interact with the children or the parents, the principal and school councilor were unfeeling and not helpful at all. The PTO was unorganized and they

So far I am really a bit disappointed in this school, esp being on a military base. The academics seem good and the teachers are friendly, but there are so many restrictions placed on the children: strict uniforms, no playing cops-n-robbers using fingers as guns, they must be quiet all the time (even

Not only that, but these kids have military parents who deploy and they need to be themselves to cope! Never in all the schools I have attended when I was a military child did I deal with this, and I turned out to be a very successful network magazine editor, I guess being myself in the schools was not so bad. Why start now? Read less
