This school is nothing that we expected. We were very excited at first to get our child into this school... Only to discover the school is full of bullying and fighting and kids vaping.. Definitely was not expecting this environment from how its advertised online. Our child was bullied and advised how they needed to be more respectful towards the bully instead of them advising the bully is the one in the wrong. My child has came home with bruises and guess what the school dont even reach out about the matter. Most of staff of the staff lacks poor moral values and low standards that allows the children to just act foul and they are not communicative on every situation. Also, if a child reaches out to a counselor they should not just start putting ideas of negativity such as suic*** that is not just something you bring up to a child without talking to their parent alone first. Also, if you request to be reached out to by the main heads of the school guess what they ain't gonna call you back. Also the dress code is not equal for all children as some kids it goes okay for but for other children it doesn't give them a feel good about themselves.. So definitely think twice before you enroll your child in this school.

Went to a meeting about my child Ms. Montoya said in front of my child " even if she dont pass she passes". After that my child had no will to try all year long. Very sad this is who leads todays children. Very disturbing. Didnt want to speak on this till my child was out of this horrible school.

She's also a little ridiculous pointing out certain kids to pick on them all year if they do one mistake its not the end of it.

She was absolutely horrible to the football team this year making sure the teachers didnt turn work in so they cant play and alot more stories shutting these boys down n teaching bullying instead of being supportive on them trying to do better smh.

I rate this low due to the principle and a certain staff member telling my daughter her gothic makeup makes her look like a drug user and its a bad look?!!! When did the staff and principle join in on bullying an 8th grader I wear gothic makeup and clothes and I'm NOT a drug user or do bad things I happen to be fully employed and doing a fine job at raising her thank you very much! If you don't want the students wearing gothic makeup update your dress code for the following school year and ban it don't come up to my kid judgemental discriminate or label her as a drug user due to her makeup! NOT professional coming at her like that,if it was that much of an issue you should call me not make your snotty comments to her!! If you wanna call me on this you have my number!!!

Personally for me paa is not really a good school. Even though there are a few kind and amazing people there it's over powered by rudeness and hate from most of the students and staff. Sadly, people from paa don't really except others for who they are. For example, I have a friend who was sent home a lot by the staff who thought her make up was distracting and made it seem like she is a bad person but it she really is a kind hearted person. Also, I have another friend who was bullied out of school because she was bigger and even myself was bullied out of that school because I am bigger and that I had short curly hair. It came to the point where I was getting notes telling to go kill myself on the daily. For your child's well being I would recommend trying to find a different school and only send them to paa as a last resort.

My younger brother is on the football team here and the other day the football team saw a young 6th grader being bullied by a female 6th grader, the football team huddled around the kid and told the girl to back off that they won’t allow the little boy to be bullied anymore. The girl since went to the office saying the entire football team threatened her so the school has now taken away their privileges to change in the gym locker rooms and the school resource officer threatened the entire team with getting tickets. The entire football team was having to change from their school clothes into their practice pads outside where anyone can see them. The young boy who was getting bullied wrote the entire football game a letter saying everyday he’s been bullied and he doesn’t want to be alive anymore, the day the kids stook up for him was the first day he wasn’t bullied. Even when I went to school here years ago the school has never done anything about bullying.

I Went There My 7th And Part Of My 8th Grade Year And Honestly It Was One Of The Best School I Have Even Attended My. My Grade Were The Hightest They Have Ever Been When I Went There And I Was Mostly Satisfied With Eveything That Happened There. I'm Now A Freshman And Even To This Day I Still Use All Of The Skills I Was Taught In Leardership!
