However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and English Language Learner students, is relatively stronger compared to the overall school performance and the state/district averages. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 31% in recent years, are a significant concern and may be contributing to the school's overall academic underperformance.

Unfortunately, this school was not a good fit for my child. In spite of all the negative things other students and parents warned me about, such as how bad teachers treat student are at this school, I was still optimistic and hoped for the best. From the second week of school and up until today’s date, several teachers belittle my child, deliberately lied on my child and claimed she did things that never happened. Each time I spoke with a teacher about something my child allegedly did, the teacher changed the story and got caught in several lies. In addition my child got put out of class and sent to the office for simply looking at a map during a group lesson, given a detention for playing it with another classmate during outside playing time, told she had to sit down while everybody else in class could dance during pj’s dress down day, accused of hiding a phone inside a book in a class that don’t even use books in the class at all. The only reason why teachers set out to sabotage my child character is because she refused to sign a book for something she didn’t do at her previous school. Now since that teacher has started working at AJ, her and other teachers been constantly bullying my child. Thank God I was wise enough to use some high technology to capture some much needed proof of horrific things teachers doing to children at AJ on a regular. Close Quote
