This is a wonderful school. The teachers and administrators do a wonderful job with the students. They are caring and loving yet prepare the kids for the junior high. Love the small school atmosphere and would recommend this school to anyone.

Because the teachers are very motivated and caring and could use the money to implement Mind-Body Skills (which I teach) into their curriculum or afterschool program.

ASMS is not a good school at all. The teachers can't control the kids. They only teach what is expected to be on the leap test. The principal is never available and she doesn't return phone calls. The staff at the school are bad examples for the kids. Teachers yell alot and it's alot of negativity. Everyone is out of control at this school. It's really sad because Abita Springs is a beautiful town. The Elementary school is the total opposite. It's awesome. Everyone seems nice and happy to teach our kids.

AMS is a great place for your child to be. Small class sizes, excellent parent-involvement, caring teachers, and challenging curriculum all attribute to preparing your child for junior high. Abita Springs is such a quaint and charming town that places great emphasis on backyard bbq's, town events such as garage sales and farmers markets, and high family values. These values are also found in the school located in the town center.

Teachers who are firm, tough, yet fair, are mislabeled as, "bullies." This is such a ridiculous and false accusation. I got a tough job but I love my job and I care about the students. People don't have a clue what I do or the challenges... More »

How I handled it varied depending on the circumstances. Teacher bullying is child abuse-proove it 1st! If teacher/pricipal/staff won't stop-go above their heads-Seek help from PTO's,administration,schoolboard,media,even CPS-Child Protective Services.

No one should put up with this. Take it as high as you need to go and follow up everything in writing. Even so far as going to your local paper. School A tolerates bullying and won't help children being victimized. They will listen after that!
