Do not rush to judgment on AMMS from what you have heard or their current "letter grade". The superintendent challenged the people listening to visit some of the F schools that he has proposed closing and see what they are like for ourselves. I know several people who have done exactly that! Each person (including myself) is impressed with the order and overall atmosphere of AMMS.
