(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Horrid. I had to call the police to get the school administration to release my daughter's transcripts when I withdrew her from this horrid school. Seems like the high school kids here aren't even thinking about college. Just a terrible experience. We had always been in private school before this and if this is what public school is like it is a shame.

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My Daughter went to Basis and it was very regimented. AMS is regimented with a smile . She loves her school and her Teachers and they love her. The Teachers here don't make children cry to prove a point on a daily Basis:)
