This school only taught our family one thing, which is your child must be monotoned, naturally smart, and silent. Otherwise there’s so support for your child’s education, especially bullying protection. With our own experience, I urge parents of this school to speak up. They like to keep things quiet or push you out. The teachers don’t want to teach, they don’t want to help. Find a better school for your child in Jackson that isn’t Amherst, there’s a few more to choose from.

I would recommend Amherst to anyone. Having gone, I am so thankful this is elementary school I attended

My daughter has excelled at Amherst Elementary. She's made so many friends and had a lot of support from teachers. We've had no issues with bullying. Their reading programs helped her a lot!

I have two children at this school... have two that have already moved on to middle school/high school. Love Amherst - teachers and staff are great. Never had any problems with bullying. Teachers are very accommodating to parents and will communicate with you daily if necessary through email or phone.

Bullying is a very big problem and the staff and principal do not do anything about the matter until its too late.
