Arapaho Classical Magnet Reviews

Well,im quiet upset at this school because they only give rewards at six grade .I do believe students deserve a recognition at the end of the year no matter what grade are you in...My daughter is a transfer student from other state and she well both commendend at both taks test.Math is perfect score and not even a simple congratulation from the principal nothing i heard nothing.....I heard its because its magnet school but still at the end of the year children still need to be recognize at their effort after all year long.......

How sad that Mrs. H is leaving ACM. She was an outstanding, caring individual that always put the well being of the students first. The teachers are very strong and always have special events at the school. I hope the special family nights and events don't stop now that ACM has a new administrator.

I had to choose between ACM and my neighborhood school. I choose to apply to ACM and have been thrilled. My daughter's teacher is great she is always very available for conversations, suggestions, etc. The principal is good and the PTA is very strong. We have participated in a couple of family activities and all of the parents and kids are very nice. I am very happy with my decision.

We're heading into our third year at ACM, and we love it. Every teacher we've had has been wonderful, there's a strong PTA and there are a variety of extracurricular programs available.

This school has hit rock bottom. No leadership in Mrs H., and teachers has burn out.

My nephew transferred to 6th grade at ACM from Houston in October 2006 and we were so lucky to have this amazing school in our neighborhood. The office staff, administrators, PTA and most especially the teachers were friendly, helpful and caring. They took a child who had struggled academically for years and helped him become a 'B' honor roll student. All of the 6th grade teachers met with us regularly and personally kept an eye on our nephew, helping him to fit in and offering him emotional support when needed. Mrs. Le Fevre, Mr. Chapa and Mr. Chapman are all dedicated professionals and truly care about their students. We found ACM to be a vibrant, modern school with a small town feel where everyone knows everyone else. I feel so hopeful for this community after learning that such quality educators are caring for the children in my city.

Academic programs are exceptional. Parent involvement is very good. The principal is the best I have experienced in 15 years of being involved in Richardson schools!

So far this year I have been very impressed with ACM. I am always able to conference with the teachers. They seem willing to help make MY child feel welcome in the new school, and they try to put my mind at ease. Although My child is one with Learning difference, I find it comforting to know that the Administrator seems to be concerned with how my child fits in, and seems to have an open door for the parents. The office staff is outstanding always pleasant, And the Extended day service is one of the best I have ever come across. I am very optimistic and appreciative for the attention my student receives.
