MOE used to be an amazing school. Sadly, leadership changed - morale has declined and staff turnover has increased.

My son was in special Ed classes!!! No email for the schedule, no informations about the quizzes, the tests! No emails answered when I ask questions ! No communication, except from two teachers where his level was good! And when I insisted, my son started to be bullied by the teachers. My name was even in the comments of his grade in Infinite campus! First, the responsible teacher tried to make everybody communicate with me, than the assistant principal and the principal but still, the communication became formal, by email from all the teachers, every Friday and so sneaky. Ex : ELA : this week , we work on the summary! No real communication was there, it was all game! my son was having really trouble with the teachers and accused for everything! He lost 20 pounds, had anxiety! It ended with the intervention of the board that took the school side ! End of the story, my son is now in 8 th grade, général regular class at WEbb Bridge! WE MOVED! Now , I’m dreaming! This WEbb Bridge middle school is fantastic, we are in the beginning of the year and I got everything without asking! It is magic! One of the teachers told me that she tried to reach Hopewell to know why my son didn’t get ESOL classes and and they told her: we don’t know! She called me to get my sons informations ! I’m finally released that he is out of that nightmare! Very hard year 21-22! My son is finally excited to go to school and he already bought a gift to his new maths teacher! If a parent is collaborating, special Ed classes would ask you to back off !

It is unfortunate that AHS lets policy get in the way of common sense and student achievement. It is discouraging how AHS refuses to acknowledge when they make a mistake. It has a culture that too often doesn't exhibit very good trust or communication with students, parents, or the community. While many will do well at this school, the lack of accountability and the unwillingness to listen to students and parents, unfortunately, diminishes the school's reputation overall.
