I have never been in a school where there is more communication and feeling of family. It is very apparent that both the staff and admin live their jobs and pour into the students 100%. My 4th grade son CRIED on his last day because his teacher was so amazing. My kids beg to not miss school because they make it fun and engaging. They teach to the kids on their levels. My son has a learning disability and I had to fight his old school to even test him, AES has far exceeded our expectations in making sure his needs were met. Test scores are phenomenal but they aren’t teaching to the test and are having a blast! The school you go to, to feel heard and loved!

The school is only good for independent learners. I had two kids and the school and now only one. My son who was not welcome back did not get along with the teachers son and was not welcome back saying he does not ldo good in a independent learning environment. The school does not offer a structured learning environment.

This school has been awesome we move here in 2021 and was nervous about if it would be ahead or behind but it wasn’t to far off from my children’s last school. The staff is wonderful.

We moved out of state which was an eye opener on how behind AES was academically. AES is great socially, but severely lacking in preparation for middle and high school. My kids needed a lot of help the first year we moved to the southeast to keep up.

My children have attended this school for 5 years and it has been wonderful. They have grown academically, socially and we absolutely love the fact they have been exposed to chess, gardening, archery, origami as well as the core subjects. The principal is an energetic, strong leader and takes the time to get to know each child.

We love AES. The administration and staff are there because they love what they do. They make each child feel special, which makes each child want to be there and learn.

Terrible. The principal Roe is so worried about kissing parents behinds and trying to make friends with the kids instead of being a principal that this school is ridiculous.

My granddaughters have been going to Acton Elementary since kindergarten. I love how inspired they are daily. I love their programs. I love the enthusiasm they share going to school each day

New, young, energetic Principal and Vice Principal. They both love kids, and both have several of their own. The PTO is great, and the teachers are too. The school is electrifying and exciting for kids. Great place to learn. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars on teachers is because we had one year with a teacher that was less than impressive to me. Others parents didnt seem to have a problem with her, but as I said, my personal view.... she is tired and needs to retire.
