This school and the city is the opposite of inclusive. If you are not playing a sport or getting a private coach you are looked down upon and made to feel less than adequate. There is no guidance or intellectual outlets for the students who are advanced and or "gifted". The school is not investing any time on the actual student and or his or her preparation for what happens after high school.

the staff are not helpful and my kids have been sick at school, which the school never call me to let me know nor have my kids been able to see the nurse there teachers will not allow them. I've had them put my kids on the wrong bus along with the school making them miss the bus making me have to leave work early to get them. This is the worst school they have been too.

This school has continually been the breeding grounds for local community violence, brought upon us by uncontrolled bullying,both cyber and physical. The staffs continual disregard, and lack of compassion and lack of correct protocols, are a disgrace to what we as humans entrust our dept. Of education and local facility faculty to manage our children's education and safety while under their watch. Most kids who attend this school will tell you about the bullying and uncontrolled physical violence that happens on a daily basis. My own child now states she is unsure as to whether she is safe at school or not, due to the faculty and RO Officers lack of engagement, and not acknowledging the issues at hand.My opinion is simple, if you want your child to just go to "daycare" per say. Where no one effectively manages their education or well being, then this schools the place for you. If your a fellow human, that wants the best opportunity for your child, both educationally and mentally, then please take them elsewhere, or for that matter teach them yourselves. But most importantly equip them with a properly functioning moral compass, and how to treat every other life as if it were theirs. For many many years ALMS has allowed these situations to occur, mostly swept under the rug, until proper parents have came forward and pursued some sort of difference. Salem wake up!!!! Be the difference! Help lead our youth the proper direction!
