Amargosa Creek Middle School

This school has been great to kids. My daugther graduated this year and my son still has two years to go, but it has been a great support to my kids. the staff and security level is great and they do care about your child education...

I am in Tenth grade know, I am a alumni, graduated in 2008. The school is going down the drain know. The kids are out of control, and Lancaster in general CST scores are going down. When I was going their the CST test were really high. I am glad, that my parents sent me to Private school. Sorry to say, the public system is not what it used to be. These hooligans are bringing the school down. The teachers are doing the best they can.

The school may be fun for the the kids, but the CST scores are way below avarage; this shows they are not learning a whole lot...

I have had 2 children pass through this school. I have loved Amargosa, but I really do think the former Principal Mr. Conte really set the tone for the school, was very hands on and such a presence there. I miss him and my kids miss him. There are still a lot of great teachers there, but I have noticed this year that there has been a lot more trouble and fighting going on around the school and in the neighborhood afterschool, Im not sure what changed this year and why this is more of a problem. There have also been some issues with kids with behavioral/violence problems on campus. Some of the best teachers my kids have had and loved are Mr. Newman(algebra/math) and Mr. Montez(history). I hope that Amargosa can continue to stay up there on the scores and with its good reputation. Principal Conte is terribly missed!

Wow.Well I'm Currently an 8th Grade Student.And Wow.I never want to leave this school.Sadly, I'm off to highschool, but it's heart-breaking just to leave.Well It's kinda sad that next year,there won't be a lot of the stuff that we had in the past couple of years that I've been here, but all i know is that NO 6th grade,NO 6th grade teachers,NO a lot of things,and I also heard that if we gotta do a club,it's like between lunch.And well, also that they will be starting in December,Have shorter spring and winter break,So Yeah. WE might not even have any sports too. And I Love Volleyball and Basketball.Well again,I'm an 8th grader,and next year all the crap is going to happen.So I'm kind of lucky.But I do Love this School So Much, and I wish the district board changed this as it was before....
