My child's teacher is very communicative and I love that they use ClassDojo to keep the parents up to date on not only events but your child's progress. The campus is very secure and clean as well! Pick up time can get a bit crazy but if you get there early it goes real fast. They also have half day every Friday and we really like it!

They are professional, knowledgeable, and motivated. The students I have interviewed seem happy and alert. I asked one Grade 2 student what they did at beginning of the day and he said something about studying the city of Phoenix. I asked him who the mayor was. Without hesitation, he said, "Greg Stanton." When I asked how he knew that, he replied, "I looked it up on the internet." That was in November, so early in his Grade 2 year. The administration and their staff are conscientious and eager to accommodate the needs of students, parents, teachers and the community. They are excellent.

My son attended 1 horrifying year here... This has got to be the worst un organized school in the…read morevalley..first of all they make the kids wear uniforms, and I am all for that except when I see teachers and staff dressed like they were on their way out of door to go to a rave..unacceptable .. In a whole school year I did not once see the principle out on school grounds and my son said he never saw him either..the secretaries dont know much and never return calls ..when you ask them a question they give you a look like they were a deer in headlights..my son was accused of something he did not do, and taken into the vice principle office and interrogated by himself without parent permission..should have taken that one to the board...but I am happy now I have him in a great school, the principle knows the kids by name..the teachers and staff are great ..but yet it lingers in my mind as to where all my tax dollars are going? This school should concentrate on getting organized..especially the principle and secretaries..also maybe a dress code should be in place for staff ...

I had the worst experience at this school with my 2 girls (6/10)…read more * Nobody ever picks up the phone even when the nurse called parents due to child sickness. * Calling the school is responded with the female principal screaming voice automated recording, when talking with the principal in person she is rude and careless and dismisses issues as of Bulling and Covid * The teachers focus on the Hispanic children and ignore the requests of other nationalities students who need help. * The school totally ignores BULLIES in school * The school sends children home constantly for "being exposed to a covid tested classmate for 5 days in a row even with no signs of illness" but then sends out threating letters that the children have exceeded the max amount of school days missed. Also the school didn't provide homeschooling homework assignments during these 5 day covid bs. I had my kids drop from B grades dropping into F grades. IF YOU ARE NOT HISPANIC don't use this school it's a disaster. I pulled my children out of this pathetic school on the 3rd time the kids where send home for 5 days due to exposure.

A lady called Alysa told me I am not supposed to be there with a little patience waiting. Alysa came and told me to follow her to one classroom and later took me at Mr. M's. Class. He explained to me what to do and I followed thro. On the 22nd I arrived early and I was not allowed at the lobby it was very cold. I even plead but they said no. I was assigned with Mrs. Denver's class assigned to work with a student on wheel chair, no one told me I have to push. The kids were lining to get to the classroom, she started yelling at me" You don't leave the client pushing herself " Dimisal time yelled again "Take her to the bus stop now " I'm using a walker. I came home my employee called me and said "You are no longer needed at the school " I am confused, is this discrimination? Why did'nt they give me a chance to know me. I was a certified teacher in my country for20yrs. before I came to America. I've been teacher Assistant Special Education since 1998.

Excuse me while I brag on my school a little...I started as a new teacher at AMSF this year (2020)…read more I teach English and Language Arts for sixth and seventh grade. We have an AWESOME admin team that is always eager to support and find reasonable solutions. The whole staff and faculty team at AMSF is kind, helpful, and supportive. It took no time to feel welcomed as a part of an awesome functioning team, and family. The way AMS has stepped up during this COVID-19 outbreak has been nothing short of incredible. Right away AMSF jumped into action continuing to serve breakfast and lunch to our students and their siblings, some of which do not even attend AMSF. Additionally, teachers were promptly trained in Google Classroom, and Chromebooks were distributed for families to continue education from home. For families who do not have internet access, teachers have been providing take home work packets. This is a school with a team dedicated to serving our students, their families, and our surrounding community. #publiccharter #turtlepower #AMSFproud
