What people are saying

by a citizen
Saturday, May 13, 2017

Irresponsible spending resulting in the elimination of their AP classes, dance program and multiple staff layoffs. Their respect in the community is plummeting. My daughter has pulled both of her children out and placed them in other public schools that are much higher performing than AAE. They are eliminating everything that made that school great.
