2023-2026 I must say AMS has made such a wonderful impression on my girls. The staff makes my kids feel seen. The administration loves my kids to pieces and it's been a joy knowing my kids are genuinely cared for while they are there.

I’ve been at this school for 3 years and the crazy stuff I’ve seen is insane. I’m lucky enough to be in all AP and GT classes which are more tolerable in the student population however the teachers that teach these classes have made racist, ableist, and homophobic comments whether it be slurs or disrespect. Many teachers either don’t follow or don’t read 504 plans and IEPs. The student in standard and below often get into fights, ignore their teacher, and will sometimes cuss out teachers and subs. Now while this is not all students or teachers you will see these students everyday in the lunch room, bathrooms and, hallway yelling, vaping, and get into fights. There are many teachers that are amazing however that number is dwindling as more retire and move each year, if you want your student to get a quality education do not send them here and if you do be proactive about the teachers they get. Now that isn’t even touching on the physical state of the school as you walk around you will notice, mice water damage everywhere on the ceilings, mold in some classes, empty pad dispensers in the bathrooms. In the gym locker rooms periodically it will begin to smell like feces because the shower pipes aren’t used. In the time I have been here there have been at least 2 floods. Neither of these floods reported to parents despite it interrupting classes making students move classrooms. There was also water actively flowing out of the windows on the second and third floors in the new building which you could see from the windows. The floors are not cleaned daily or even close the bathrooms are however the floors in the rooms do not get cleaned unless the teacher does it. The only tasks consistently done to cleans the building are removing trash (they don’t recycle despite the recycling bins in most rooms) bathroom cleaning, and I am not positive but it is possible the rooms are swept but never mopped except over the summer this is clear by the way the floors are sparkling clean at the beginning of the year and by the end of the first month they are gross. There are multiple rooms that get wasps (not because windows are open) they come through the vents. I could go on and on about the problems with this school. If you choose to send your kid her please be aware of the education they are receiving the curriculum with the exception of ap classes is not good enough I highly recommend if you send your kids here they do dual enrollment at CCBC in their junior and senior year

There are way too many students and not enough staff. The learning is dominated by the need for redirection and it truly holds back students from learning properly.
