"I have attended this school for the past three years now and I must say that it is an excellent school. The teachers are attentive and you can really form a bond with them like I have with some of my own teachers. They expect you to do your best and when they see your potential, they will press you until you are working to your full capacity. Overall, this school is great for academics. Highly Reccommend."

"Very political place...positives: good principal, several electives offered. Negatives: the English dept, attitude of favoritism on the part of several teachers, too many teachers allow themselves to be distracted from their job by involvement in sports (as coaches). Suggest going to a private school...too bad there isn't one in the area."

"My experience is very different than the parents who responded. The teachers are very concerned with each student and my kid got the grade he deserved. The principal is very concerned and interested and I would recommend this school to anyone."

"I am currently on my third child going through Amador with one more to go. When my first one attended the attitude of the teaching staff was a joke. Since the current principal began there has been improvement and a number of good teachers have been hired. I do see problems in resource for students with learning issues, it doesn't prepare them for anything except low paying jobs - not college. With the upcoming cutbacks class size is again going to increase, which will put a heavy burden on all teachers - good and bad. Overall my kids have enjoyed the drama, art, history classes, plus playing competitive sports; so there are some good things going on there!"

"I posted a year ago, and want to give an update. My daughter did go back full time after independent study. Now I agree with one parent - teachers make mistakes on the grades or just don't realize that they are so important to the kids who want to go to college. My daughter got As and Bs on all her tests/papers, but still got a D on semester grade. It took a lot of dealing to get it corrected. A mistake like that by a teacher could completely ruin a kid's future!"
