Child did not learn anything for 3 years.The school chose to not educate and instead dismiss all complaints and pass whether they did any work or showed up at all. Was very difficult to get communication or information. School District attendance line auto called me every day 160 times per school year on one child, whether child was there or not, despite my complaints and concerns. Very flawed school district and no accountability. Leaving children behind, literally, and yet passing them on for the high school to deal with. If you are thinking of anywhere in SMS's district lines, don't. Buy elsewhere, don't move here or pay for private school. If you are already here, move. Quickly. Or pay for private school.

Also, this post "I see no problems with the principal or teachers! It's the uneducated, irresponsible parents and there unruly, uncaring kids. Respect and honor are taught at home. The teachers can't do everything! As far as the school itself, the structure is very nice. Just like the new high school. Submitted by a parent" was clearly posted by a teacher!!! They may have a student who attends AJH, but that was too defensive for a parent.
