I have had all four of my kids go through this school, the youngest two were there during 2006/07 and 2007/08 school years. One thing all my kids had in common at AMS, was having items stolen, mainly during PE class, or after school during sports practices, when the kids are told to leave their things

The staff sometimes locks the locker room, but not always, and sometimes allows one or two students to return (unsupervised) to the locker room, and boom there is another theft. Typical response we encountered from staff is a lack of concern, an attitude of 'student shouldnt have brought that to school !' , and certainly no motiviation to change the policy (ie, add locks to the lockers ! ) IMO, lack of action by staff encourages thefts to continue.

The principal leadership of this school seems to be fine, but I notice that children are afraid to approach him because he acts like a drill sargeant most of the time. There needs to be a class on manners. Most of the children are very rude. They run into you in the halls without apology. excuse me.

This school needs to be put out of service. It is very old. The doors on the lockers do not lock and therefore the kids cannot leave their personal belongings. My child personally had several items stolen in the past two years. They treat these kids as elementary students. There are only aloud breaks
... Read more on Fridays! They all have to sit in one area after lunch and this area is in the blazing sun. The football field is a disaster! Pot holes in the field and they expect them to play soccer on this field as well. Talk about twisting an ankle. The track is overgrown with grass. There is no lighting so games have to be held in the heat of the day during the spring/summer. The lockers in the gym have NO doors! My child had items stolen during PE! Wake up Anson County!
