This school has been a blessing to my family. At the beginning I was a little hesitant because it was not in the area where I live, but after checking it out and see that they rated first in TN. I was very happy I had selected this school for my Special Needs child who is autistic. Ms. MCCormick is wonderful and has supported my family 100% communication is wonderful with all the staff and they really put the best interest of the child before anything.

My daughter went to Amqui last year for Kindergarden, and she learns so much, the teachers are all so friendly and helpful. If you want your child to get a good education you should consider Amqui

My daughter has been attending Amqui Elementary for two years and I couldn't be more pleased with the school, princial, teachers and leadership displayed at the school. She attended Carter Lawrence for two years and I was hesitant to enroll my daughter in their program at Amqui but since my daughter has been enrolled she has grown as a student and as a child. I commend the principals and staff at Amqui for preparing my daughter for all facets of life. Hats off to all the staff at Amqui, thank you for granting my daughter a great elemntary experience.
