Academy Of Arts & Minds

Having a performing arts school in our neighborhood is such an awesome thing. These are our future artists, performers and scholars. This small and unique school of less than 500 students, where students are recognized by their names not just a number or a face in the crowd. This is a school that is loved by its students and parents. Rated A+ high performing for the having excellent grades for the last three consecutive years. Love A&M and my son did too!!!!

Parents need to know that this charter school is bad news! Look it up-- the Miami Herald and others have done investigations about how this school is being run for financial gains, not the kids and their education. The school district just audited the school and found that it isn't being run properly. Many many kids have left the school. Two good principals left last year because things are so bad there. Most of the teachers from last year have left too. The school's funding last year was stopped because they were improperly charging fees and not providing special ed. This year they will no longer provide free/reduced lunch like at regular public schools because the director accused the kids of lying. The same guy who owns the building owns the cafeteria so he will probably be able to get more money now. It is supposed to be an arts school for talented kids but they are letting anyone in now without an audition because so many kids have left and they need students so they can get more money. Really there are so many bad things to say! Don't send your kids there if you care about education!
