I started working for Amigos Por Vida - Friends For life Public Charter School back in 2015, I then moved out of state for about 7 years and then came back to work again for the school. APV is like a family, no matter how long you don't see each other you are always there for your family member and they are there for you. My older son now in High School went to school there, when we moved out of state his new school was impressed with how well-prepared he was coming from Amigos Por Vida, after all these years he still remembers how happy he was at APV. My wife is also an educator and she worked for APV for almost 10 years before we moved out of town, she also has very good memories of her experience there.

Worst school ever, to much bullying and nobody can do nothing,. I guess the students don't have good parenting care and teachers don't care neither....
