...parents DO NOT have to PAY ANYTHING to go to AmeriSchools.
AmeriSchools has high expectations of students and staff. Staff work with the parents to help students reach their full potential. The school is labled PERFORMING PLUS for two years in a row and are working very hard to reach a HIGHLY PERFORMING label!

Ok - in all fairness - it been years since I have taught at Amerischools so it may have changed; however, my experience at this location was not a good one. I encountered violence, disrespect, and the parents were running the school, not the educators. Maybe the school leadership has changed - I don't know. All I know is that I never understood why parents would pay to put their child in this school, at least not when I was a part of the school. I stayed for half a year because that's all I could take - the school was very scary at that time.
