I as shocked to see the negative review of this school. I have been nothing but impressed by the teachers and staff. I find the levels of students in my child's classes to vary greatly but the teachers really seem to meet the needs of all of the students. I am THRILLED that my child goes to school at ABES!!!

We moved here from Southern CA expecting the school to be an improvement. Unfortunately, we found the opposite. There tends to be a high turnover of teachers and a breakdown of comunication between the staff and the teachers. They also tend to put the children in "cookie cutters" instead of recognizing individual strengths or weaknesses. I have also heard many parents mention that the OFFICE STAFF IS VERY UNFRIENDLY!! I agree. Just a greeting smile would have been nice. After a few months, I transferred my child out of this school. I'm glad I did. Overall, this school is sub-par.

I think that Anthony burns would be better if their teachers wouldn't change every semester, be more attentive and focus on child's needs and concerns, the office staff us not friendly or helpful. Over all think its an okey school

Our three boys were new to ABES this year. They were K, 1st and 5th. We were very impressed with all of their teachers. Despite having a wide range of abilities in their classrooms they were able to keep our boys interested and challenged. One example of this was that my 1st grader wanted to read Harry Potter for AR. His teacher encouraged this and cheered him on. He was a good grade level reader, he now reads at a 4th grade level. There are several more instances I could site. Whenever we had concerns both the teachers and the administration responded immediately and appropriately. We love the Shiney Red Dragon Awards! Our boys loved being caught being good. Two of the boys teachers even showed up to their baseball games.
