Amherst is a wonderful school. The staff is caring and they present material in exciting ways. They have great test scores and an amazing facility. The school itself is new, clean, and beautiful!

I have 3 children currently in Amherst & we have been there since the 2nd year they opened. We have had nothing but great experiences with all of the teachers and staff. They are genuine in their desire to teach & help the children. I couldn't ask for a better elementary school.

Are these parents crazy? My wife and I have had children in Ridgeway now Amherst for a combined 16 years. I have never felt I'm not welcome or that the teachers and staff don't care about my children. You know honestly some people will never be satisfied with anything and probably these parents that are complaining are the same ones that always sit on their hands during the school year.

My son is going into 3rd grade and I have to say he is very proud of his school and working through a few mishaps when he first started we have been pleased overall each year. The only aspects I find that I feel could improve is that I wish kids were able to have more fun in school. At Amherst I notice that the TCAP scores are little ABOVE avg. which says a lot. I hope that the pressures of curriculum do not get in the way of the children also having fun and that they enjoy school! Special days like field day, the last days of school etc.. are days that they can get out of the building and have Fun! Incentives!! Ms. Lee is a true professional and keeps order which is a great but compared to area schools their is opportunity for morale boosting activities. Fun Days!
