Some kinder teachers teach children to write using the denealian font. But all the other paperwork they get, work on, view, uses the normal basic font. Then when those students move on to 1st grade, those teachers mark points off, for not utilizing the correct font. It's hard on parents, because we
Posted by a parent on 5/13/2018We've had no issues. Lovely school. The principal is like any I've ever seen out rain snow or shine talking with students every day. The school is wonderful with communication.
Posted by a parent on 9/30/2017This school has extremely poor communication. Every other parent I have talked to has the same issue. The only solution is to be able to go to the school when you have an issue which is quite unfortunate for families where both parents work full-time. Also the pick-up and drop-off is a disaster. It
Posted by a parent on 12/7/2014Arctic Light has good and bad. The school lunches ARE horrible. Thankfully, sending a lunch from home is always an option. As far as education goes there however, it can go both ways. I ended up pulling my twin sixth graders out of school and homeschooling them last year, because there was absolutel

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhen we were here the last time there was a male principal who was beyond amazing. I heard he was driven out by the liberals. Those liberals have taken over the school and it has gone downhill more than I can express in words. After a month of horror, we decided we would be homeschooling our children. I would never send my kids to this school unless they bring back somebody who actually cares about kids and has the backbone to make changes. This was, about 12 years ago, probably the best school in the district. Today, I would not be surprised if it was ranked as the worst. Avoid at all costs.Parent Review1y ago - Barnette Magnet School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageEveryone knows this is the absolute worst school in the district. My child has fallen behind so much it makes me sick. Calling this school a daycare would be a compliment. My student has been terrorized and physically assaulted almost every single day. This school is literally a fight club. Whenever I try to talk to staff about my child being body slammed I am told the kids here have problems it’s the Southside. They don’t care about children here. Clock in clock out. I wish someone would investigate this school it’s disgustingParent Review1y ago - Alternative Learning Systems

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a student, it was the worst possible school. The teachers didn't teach. When I backed for help they said "Look in your book". The teachers did not have our best interests in mind. The lunches had no nutritional value. It was severely underfunded. Other students agreed with this statement.Student Review4y ago - Hamilton Acres Baptist School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI looked all over town for a school that I could afford and that would be more than just a day care center for my 4 year old. I wanted her to really learn something. Hamilton Acres was a great choice and one we are making again this year. Our daughter learned very quickly and the the low student to teacher ratios really helped. It provided her with a more comfortable family type atmosphere. She can't wait for her school to start!Parent Review12y ago
