Some of the teachers there are very good teachers, like Ms foster, Ms osakwe, Mr anello, mr sheffield, and Ms mickey. There were a lot of good and bad moments at this school, but if you stay out of all the drama and fights, then this school isn't that bad I do think that they need to clean up the campus more as I see spit out gum on the concrete. But the libary looks really nice, they just remodeled it recently and it's completely different from the plain old library they used to have. So despite all the people saying its ghetto, it just depends on how you look at the school, some people have really bad experiences, but some people really enjoy this school alot like I did. I graduated last year and it feels not that long ago.

As a parent you will have to initiate communication with staff, otherwise if your child is having issues you may or may not be contacted, but once school officials know that you are receptive, they will reach out with concerns. The band/music program has been re-introduced, very positive move, although participation rate seems quite low. Negative aspects outweigh, the positives, by a landslide. It seems that the PARENTS, of many AMS students, have forgotten to teach their children basic manners, morals, respect, and school etiquette. The dress code is not enforced AT ALL, uniforms where?? I frequent the campus and see 6th - 8th grade girls dressed in booty shorts, jeans shredded up, with holes, damn-near exposing their panties, halter and half tops with leggings galore, and skin tight dresses. 6th - 8th grade boys walking around, looking like they just rolled out of bed, in pj's and slides (how do you do PE in those?). 8 out of 10 kids are staring at cell phones, in and out of the classroom, at any given time. I've even observed kids eating bags of chips, sitting under tables, using profanity, and wandering around aimlessly during an active English class session. Signs indicate a high level of truancy and tardiness and not much being done to prevent it. Many physical fights have occurred on campus this school year, between students, and also student and teacher altercations. Bullying is prevalent as well. Overall I feel that this school needs a lot of work to bring it up to a decent standard. Parents definitely need to step-up, and play their parts (which may be a shot in the dark) and try to work with the staff, instead of against, in resurrecting old school educational values. The kids are suffering....and that is sad. Good Luck AMS!

This was a great school with awesome teachers and I hope its still the same way today. What i remember most about the school is the size. Its pretty huge. This school was opened during the time that Antioch was on their School building binge. they built Jack London elementary Black diamond Middle and Deer Valley all within 5 years of each other. Gotta love it since I wet to all of them;-) Send ur kids to this school. Its not over crowded yet and they get a lot of fresh air. the entire school is outside. Antioch's New School Building Binge theme. Although the school is a salmon pink and teal color...but i digress. Hell I even survived in the time of year round schooling... it was brutal but it made for a very interesting Christmas break. kids will learn here.

No new and innovative programs offered. Not tracking their thought process. Clearly, this award is not based on merit, but politics.

When I ask them if they are going to pay for my sons bills they dance around it by saying we cannot give you information about the other student, that student was at school the very next day.
