I think that I would change how short the recess is. l like being outside for a long period of time without having to worry about anything such as school work or if I fit into a certain type of crowd. Peace is being outside in the sun hanging out my friends or reading alone under a tree.

I was looking for student body numbers and came across some of these ridiculous reviews. I've taught at ADM for 15 years and can't speak more highly of the Administration and the school in general. I love teaching here, the kids are kids, yes there are some students that are not the most motivated,...

If parents don't speak up and advocate for their children, it will only get worse. An administrator was in my sons face o...

I was bullie...

Despite what the data shows, ADM is a very good school. All three of my children either have or are attending there. They have learned a lot from their teachers and although it is not perfect they have enjoyed their time there.
