Anderson Mill Elementary IB World School

I miss this school so much. The kids there are nice, I love the art class that they provide and even though it isn't rated that great I still excelled in my school work even though there was little to no hw. Most of the teachers are very nice but there are a few that are not very nice. It is an old school but they recently gave it some upgrades. This school gave me the best elementary experience I've ever had.

Both of my children have been attending AME since 2014. They have both excelled in their reading, math and love attending this school. The school has an IB accreditation which requires additional work of teachers, students and parents. So students are expected to work when they go to school and those that don't have it reported on a daily behavior card. Teachers provide daily feedback to parents and parents are expected to engage. AME offers several free after school programs to encourage students to get out of their comfort zones and learn something new. It's not a superficial school and Ms. Allen and her teachers really do care and want their students to do well.

This review is based on that I am here 3 times a day. The morning, lunch, after school. This place is not that bad. So our Teacher was amzing! We lucked out!! Now some of the other teachers kinda have an attitude. The staff was really nice but again some have attitude.nThe principal is not great at all. She is lazy and the only time I see her is very rare. Again I am at the school 3 times a day. So that says a lot!! Even on the last day of school I didn't see her. Well I'll tell you I truly believe Elisa Gordon should be principle!! She is super sweet and I see her all the time. The kids also like her!!! The other assistant principal guy is also a bit lazy. He has no answers or ideas for you. He is 100%unhelpful.nThe lunch lady in the food line has a big attitude. She is not nice. The other lunch line staff never smile.nSo many fun things that the kids get to do is NEVER that organized. They can do better. I paid to be part of booster and NEVER GOT ANY INFO. wasted money on that. We paid for so many pictures and shirts etc.nThe kids eat breakfast in class so that is good. But only get 10 min. To eat. Morning time is but the backpacks and lunches up. Plus folders and grade cards. Plus kids are talking to each other. So they don't get a full breakfast. More like a snack. They should get 30min. Some kids are very mean and some are nice. I have seen kids hit and kick some people do stop it other's don't say anything.nThe playgrounds are old and broken!!nnOverall: not to bad. But not that amazing.nWe stayed for our Teacher!!! Truly a sweet woman!!

To be honest if I could give it zero stars I would. Like the last review said,everything about this school sucks, and it looks old and run down they need to upgrade. Kid never comes home with homework doesn't seem like he's learning. They dazzle it up like oh your child will learn spanish and this and that, uh no.. And staff there is very strict about stupid things like you (as a parent mind you) can't even go back to the classroom once school starts.

The staff fosters a good environment to learn and grow.
