I've been attending Amistad since kindergarten and now I will officially be a senior in August. I have obtained many experiences from this school including friendships and clubs. Teacher commitment can be hard making it difficult to form stable connections with faculty but student life culture is vibrant and makes the school a more fun environment.

My adopted son has been attending Amistad Middle School and I must say it has been nothing short of a NIGHTMARE. Never in my life have I seen children constantly mistreated and spoken to like they are beneath the teachers. We have had several meetings with teachers to explain our sons abusive histor...
