Antelope Hills Elementary School

My child has been here for over two years and if I could transfer out of my area I would. This school has some teachers that have no patience and should not be teaching, the traffic is ridiculous!! They have a lot of issues with bullying and they look the other way and do nothing about it. It's really sad to me the hiring practice of teachers. This school seems to hire anyone. The front office staff is the rudest I have ever seen. Maybe if the ladies in the front put down their starbucks they could attend to parents without being rude. I dread going in there. From what I hear the school was good when it opened but now has lowered it's standards. I have yet to see my child who is very intellegent be challanged. I cannot wait for my son to be out of here. Mrs. Aves in K is the only good teacher here.

My children have attended AHES since it opened in 2005. We have had nothing but positive experiences and continue to love staff, teachers, students and families. As one reviewer stated before: Antelope Hills is a HOME! They have high standards, and they provide the love and support necessary to attain them.

The school is ok. What I dont like is the front office ladys when you come in with blond short hair she is rude and she needs to go. I dread coming into the office and seeing her. Many of us parents feel her attitude is not representative of the school...Ps its not Patti she is great. Traffic is terrible and they need better organization when school is starting and ending.

Antelope is a great school with a warm and caring environment. Lots of parental involvement make it a top notch school.

My children have gone to this school for 1 1/2 years. When they began attending the school was good, it was a little hard, but that made them work harder. This next year the teacher for my oldest daughter is horrible. She has asked us to going into the school a couple of times. 1st time was for the report card review, she came right out and told us that my daughter lacked focus, but not to worry because there were great drugs out there to keep children focused. WOW, a teacher that has a doctors degree and knows if my child needs ADD drugs. 2nd time we were called in was because she was calling my daughter a liar. She did not believe the stories that she was telling in class. It was a shock to the teacher to learn that everything my daughter told her was true, she has travelled a lot, she does have friends all over the place, she does have a kids car, she goes on vacation every year to FL. Parents bring their dogs on campus all the time, it is not allowed, but he vice principle does nothing about it. They give awards to every kid to make them feel good. I am so happy to have my kids out of this school at the end of the year of 2011.

AHES is a home. It's a place that kids feels safe and loved, parents feel important and wanted, and teachers feel validated and appreciated. We have exceptional educational programs and strive to meet the needs of every student. I am one of the luckiest people I know because not only am I a teacher at AHES, but I am also a parent!

The teachers there are fantastic. The whole staff is amazing. My boys are older but when Antelope Hills opened the teachers that moved to the new school were many of the teachers my boys had. I will be forever blessed by not just the education my boys received but the compassion with which they were taught. Thank you to all the teachers and the staff that helps run such an awesome program.

I love antelope hills for many reasons! We moved from the oc a year ago, and have never regretted the decision. The staff is outstanding and you can see how much they love the students- there is a very family aptmosphere surrounding this school. I also love the after school programs offerred in partnership with the local high school. AHES is a wonderful place for all involved!

I love Antelope hills so much. We opened the school with my daughter in kindergarten. She is now in 4th grade and my son has her kindergarten teacher. We love the teachers, the parents, the programs....everything.

Antelope Hills is a high caliber school. The teachers are so dedicated, kind and helpful to students of every ability level. The support staff is great and we are delighted to have our son at such an exceptional school! So far, we have had such a positive experience in kindergarten and first grade and look forward to the next 4 years.
