    "Please do not send your students to this school if you would like to see them graduate from high school. Academics are lacking - and preforming arts instructors are not certified. Definitely ask to see standardized test scores and the high school graduation rate of their students if you are considering this school."

    "My child is in K and I feel that the idea of this school is really great, the follow through, not so much. The things I dislike the most about this school are the crowded play area, the parking lot, and the class rooms seem really dark and depressing. I feel like since this is an "arts school" the class rooms should be bright, there should be murals, there should be flowers, plants, gardens, sandboxes. There is a patch of grass, and a tiny play area where the kids climb all over each other and get hurt constantly. Also, there is no library which seems sad to me for the children. My child's teacher is ok, she seems to not want to be there most of the time, but my child likes her. I feel like they could do more, but I am not ready to throw in the towel yet. I feel like if they can make changes such as making the environment better, and expand the play areas and planted some trees and an organic vegetable garden it would feel more comforting to the children and parents, and also provide organic ingredients for school lunches. Also, allowing children to garden and paint around the school would be educational and make the school look beautiful. It needs some changes to be better."

    "So far I'm not happy with this school but we can't find any other school in our area that is doing any better. If we could afford private school we would send our children. Having said all of that I think the teachers do the best they can with what is available to them and the Principal is out standing, hopefully better learning is ahead for Arts Academies students!"

    "I transfered to Arts Academy when i was in 3rd grade and just graduated last year from 8th grade. The school is deffinitly better than the other ones around the area. The only problem i had was the school wasnt focusing on education they were more worried about you only having 1 braclet on your arm and what color belts you wear, and there were no buses that took kids home . The teachers are friendly and do a good job i do recomend sending your child there. The best part of going there is there are never fights, all the kids are friendly, and the arts programs they have there are very good."

    "We found Arts Academy when we first started looking at schools for our first child. Sending your first off to school can be nerve-wracking, but after we visited AAEM I felt a lot better! The staff was friendly, the school had so many activities going on, it was clean, and, of course, completely appealing to the kids. Now my oldest is going into 3rd grade and my second is headed to 1st. We have had nothing but great experiences here. Anytime a situation did present itself, it got handled to everyone's satisfaction. The teachers at AAEM are awesome and really care about these kids. The curriculum is great, not perfect - the staff and teachers are always working and building onto it and that's what makes it even more special - they try new things and use what is effective with the current group. I have had the honor of working in the PTO in the past and help run other parent-based groups. This school loves when parents are involved. They strive for it. I am so glad we found it here and plan on keeping my kids at this school straight thru. It's a great fit for our family."
