My daughter has attended ACS since Pre-K 3 she is currently in 4th grade. I believe they have an excellent Pre-school program, second to none. There seems to be alot of politics in the grade school however, the principal is a loving caring woman. The teachers are very good at what they do but some have
... Read more a tendency to show VERY obvious favoritism. The teachers need to communicate a little better with regards to HW. These children are in school with little to no socializing from 7:45 to 3:45, then spent the rest of their waking hours doing HW. Every parent I talk to complains about the same thing, kids are up until 10-11pm trying to complete the mountain of HW they receive every day.

I am the paernt of a new student, and I have found ACS to be a wonderful and nurturing institution. I pick up my son everyday, and this is one of the cleanest building in the area. The work is challenging and the day is long, but it is well worth. My son loves it.
