Parents do not have to pay to go to Amerischools; however, I concur with the previous poster. I also was a member of this school and the violence and disrespect was completely out of control. Fights, abusive language, and lack of programs to help students were a daily thing at this school. Sorry, but I don't think that this school is up to par with discipline.

This school has dropped in their math AIMS scores from 2008 to 2009 and the reading has stayed the same, no improvement. Science and math are continuing to drop at this school each year. Check out the ADE report card for this school for further information. You should always do this before enrolling your child in a Charter school. I would only put my child in a Charter school that had the testing scores to back up their statements about the quality of education provided.

...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.
