Amy Parks-Heath Elementary School

Students that are different are not well received. Bullying is out of control.

This school has some very good teachers who care about the students and the new principal, Mrs. Smith is amazing. However, even the best of the teachers are overshadowed by the bad ones. There are many teachers who yell at their students every day. The PTO us very strong, and I have spent many many hours on campus volunteering. Parent involvement is huge at this school. But that has also given me the opportunity to see how the students are treated every day. They are yelled at, disrespected and belittled by some of the teachers on a daily basis. Consequently, the kids are under alot of stress. There are many rude kids and there's a lot of social engineering. Some of the biggest bullies in the school are teachers and staff. If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't send my kids to this school.

Amazing school. The staff seems to really care about the kids and their well being. I own them a lot for my child excelling the way he has. I can say enough good things about this school. Ms. Gentry, Ms. Pullen and Principal Ms. Helm, you are amazing ladies. Don't stop caring like you do. You are touching more hearts and lives than you realize and I thank you so much for my son's progression.

I have always been pleased with the entire staff at this school - they are caring, nurturing, and part of our family. I am especially happy to have a more professional principal this year. She seems to be more interested in doing her job than being best buddies (and acting like one of the kids) with everyone (like our previous principal). This is our family's fourth year at the school and we are looking forward to many more great years.
