Tey not only teach the three R's they keep God in the childrens mind / Making them a more caring generation.


Posted September 3, 2006

As an alumni, I look back at my time at AMS as a vital part of who I am today. The academics are solid, but could be more diverse. It's the staff and parents of the school that makes the biggest difference. As the city of Manhattan Beach has changed, so too has AMS, but the staff and parents stay true to principals of education, religion, and community.

AMS has given our child a good basic foundation. The school has gone through a number of growing pains as it has expanded tremendously over the last few years. It is now under new leadership which I cannot address as our child is now a graduate. Ams is weak in language, music and sports, but big in community. Your family is their family.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
