(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Three years ago, my son's grades began to slip. He was attending a school in the Sacramento School District up until the 5th grade. I tried everything from private tutors to meetings with his teacher and the principal. Deep down I knew there was a chance he would give up on learning all together. In a desperate move,I decided to switch districts and pray for the best.
We just received his report card today from ACMS. He has a B average. I mostly just want to thank you. . . all of the staff. My son is a happy young man again. He is confident, secure and enjoys learning because he is successful. I will be forever grateful to your establishment. Afterall, it is our teachers that have the most profound impact and influence on us. You are awesome. Thank you again JLP's Mom.
