    "I am a current 8th grader at Ammons M.S and I honestly can't think of a better place to be in the past 3 years of my life! My elementary school was so boring compared to Ammons. There were barely any field trips, the yearbook was stupid, and they barely congratulated us for doing well in anything! However, when I entered Ammons, I felt like I was just so loved by everybody! The teachers, the students, even the administration!!! Ammons is truly a unique place that everybody will immediately fall in love with. Ammons has taught me to take my education seriously, strive to succeed and go exceedingly far in life! Ammons will always be kept in my heart."

    "Hi there! Our son is a 6th grader at Ammons. So far we are extremely pleased with the way this school is run. Most teachers seem to be genuinely dedicated to making sure your child is successful. Of course there are some exceptions! I have already had a significant run in with one instructor that thought she could judge & label my kid. I was not shy about giving her my thoughts on her behavior and now it seems like we are going to be ok. Lesson for parents on this one is stand up and be an advocate for your child. One GREAT thing about ammons is the PTA. They make sure parents have a chance to be involved. We both work full time, but there is ample opportunity to be involved. Finally, I have to comme on some of the amzaing staff at ammons. Ms. Garcia in the Media center is amzaing. she is always there for the kids. I have never seen a library that is such a popular hot spot. Mrs. Santiago, Mrs. Torres, Mrs. Cabrera, and Mr. Pardo..................THANK YOU for making my son LOVE going to school!!! you guys ROCK!!"

    "Hey! I am a student at Ammons Middle and I love it. There are a few teachers who give a lot of work and are very strict but then you have teachers like Mr. Mullin , Ms. Fletcher , and Mr. Mike for science who are just great teachers and make the class fun. Electives are a lot of fun too. Chorus is amazing it's such a fun class and you really learn a lot. I've heard that art, drama, and all the other electives are a lot of fun too. They also have many activities to help you get your service hours like school beautification day and the walk-a-thons and they can be really fun. The IB portfolio can be a lot of hard work, but it helps you to understand the work you are doing at Ammons and the purpose of doing it. My past years at Ammons have been really good and if you are thinking of coming here, I think you will realize once you go that you have made the right choice. We have a lot of fun activities and classes here that I'm sure you will enjoy so go to Ammons!"

    "I am a student at Ammons currently, and I can say that this school is great. It isnt completely perfect, however. Like all public schools, there are a couple of batty teachers or staff and administration that aren't very popular with other students. However, the good teachers outnumber the bad by a lot. Teachers such as The Earles (algebra), Mr. Mike (earth-space science), Mr. Hutchinson (band+guitar) and Mr. Mullen (6th grade geography) really stand out. Additionally, the IB program gives students a half-semester of P.E. and Technolpgy each, a foreign language, and a 40minute study period every morning to read and study. It also adds community service requirements, which aren't bad, and IB "learner profiles" and a portfolio required to get your IB Certificate. Thus, the school is slightly more angled to those better at reading and Language Arts. The school isnt as demanding as thought of, unless you get an elusive teacher that assigns a lot of work. There are only one or two points in the year when it gets really frantic. As for the kids, just remember that admissions are randomly chosen out of the eligible, so all arent that well behaved or smart. Current 7th Grader"

    "My child attends Herbert A. Ammons Middle School and is in the 7th grade. I think the truth about the school is in the middle. The IB curriculum is great. Each teacher has the opportunity to be great. Some abuse the priviledge. The environment is excessively competitive and can be deterimental depending on the child. I have personally met with several teachers who have no shame or conscious when talking to children and neither did I when I talked to them. The administration does nothing to provide a positive "tone". The teachers appear to know the curriculum but that does not a teacher make. Some definately need to retire and find themselves. I would advise any parent to remember that you know your child. Weigh their concerns and act accordingly. And the student was right, the things they say to your children are not the things they say to you. That is why there is a region and a district!!!!!!"
