Please disregard the negative review! This school is truly exceptional! Within the first month of attending, my children not only began reading but also excelled in math. The entire staff is outstanding and highly professional!

I hate to have to do this but it is time. The County provides each child with the resources they need to excel if the parents are disciplined enough to make their children do the work. My problem with MAES is that a lot of poor behavior is swept under the rug and children are being CONSTANTLY bullied by other children. My son had the worst experience in Kindergarten and it is already starting again. They know who the children are but it's a long process when it comes to having true action taken. Too many passes are given when you look a certain way. It's shameful. People always have something smart to say about inner city kids but the truth is the suburb kids are no better. They throw tantrums, strike other kids etc. and their parents are never held accountable as they should be. It's easy to say this is an awesome school but everyone has a different definition for that word. Awesome compared to what? You can tell the teachers are tired and under supported and the parents are tapped out at home because there are constant issues with bullying by these bratty children. The day we move will be the happiest day of my life. The same problem I had with a child last year (a couple months ago) another mom is having with that same child striking her child now. But again, when you look a certain way you're given pass after pass.

Veteran's High School boasts excellence but the administration fails to set the tone. The administration made up all sorts of excuses for why my child was not getting their educational needs met with their 504 that was on file. I was constantly emailing and calling with little to no response. The teachers are good, I will give them that. However, administration needs a complete overhaul. It is very disappointing.
