It is amazing to see how far this school has come. I feel that the skills I learned from attending this school from 2nd grade through middle school have carried with me until this day. My reading and writing skills are strong and this school truly prepared me for college. As an adult now, I read quite often for fun. This academy truly focuses on a classical education, which is not a focus in public schools today. Scholars learn cursive and multiplication/division starting in second grade. These skills stay with them for the remainder of their schooling. This academy does a nice job focusing on building the skills they've learned brick by brick each school year. Now as an adult, I hope to send my own children here one day so that they can experience the same type of educational experience I had in my childhood. American Heritage Academy has a warm, friendly feeling the moment you walk in. Scholars are beyond excited to come in each day and see their classmates and teachers. It is a school that is rigorous, but students look forward to coming each day because of the special, nurturing environment this school provides. It is a very family friendly school, and you can be as involved as you wish to be in your child's education.

We will be sending him to kindergarten and hopefully beyond at GVLS. GVLS is a big family and we love that. Thank you! -Jessica Currens

My daughter was very smart prior to moving here and this school didn't slow her down. She has continued to excel in reading, math, science and Physical education. She has taken after school activities such as piano, yoga and even fun activity clubs and loved every one of them. I was able to see my child from a public trail and was quickly spotted by the PE coach as she confronted me and confirmed with my daughter that she knew me. I was really happy that the teachers have that level of care for the kids to ensure I wasn't a creep. The PTO does amazing things with a lot of dedicated parents participating. My experience with the teachers thus far has been amazing. You get a chance to meet more of them at community events and fundraiser dinners the PTO creates. The traffic came back up for drop off. The principal and other teachers out in the parking lot trying to keep parents moving any methodical pace. There is a flow to the process to ensure all kids get dropped off quickly and in a safe manner. The crossing guards are always there and always have a children's safety as the number one priority from what I've seen. I'm also amazed how the people letting the children into the school in the morning seem to know nearly every single one of them. My child's experience has been great. We dedicate a lot of time at home with our children to help them learn that at school. It seems the teachers do the same which makes the school work very well for us and our level of involvement with the children. The ram run is an opportunity for the kids to run laps in the morning before school starts and a great opportunity to motivate them to stay more active. My daughter really liked this and over the course of the ram run duration from October to May, she ran over 60 mi with a couple laps each day. This is not required and starts about 15 minutes before the bell rings. SafeKey is offered before and after school. I have only used a before school option. I know this is a CCSD provided function and not a school function but I asked the SafeKey teachers how they manage a number of teachers versus students and they told me they provide the appropriate number of teachers for whatever children are signed up for the SafeKey that day. One afternoon, I watched children throwing rocks into the backyards of houses so long the trail. I didn't expect there to be enough SafeKey teachers to be able to watch every kid at all times since they are all playing in the large playground. I told the kids to stop and they did. I then went over to the school to talk to the SafeKey teachers and they address it immediately. I never saw any children throw rocks again. Overall I think the teachers of the school are very attentive from my experience. I think the pickup and drop off goes as efficiently as it can go since the school doesn't actually have a large parking lot for everybody to park. It seems like the PTO and staff are dedicated to provide the best environment they can provide. I am very happy that I chose to live in an area that is zoned for this highly rated school.

He was pushed into the stall and placed in a headlock in the bathroom by another child, he was kicked in his "private" parts during early childcare, he was punched in his "privates" during lunch, he had a basketball thrown at his head at recess, and had his chair pulled out from under him when standing to ask a question in his class. He's not perfect! They never notified us of any of the above incidents. Does he have aggression issues. Yes. At time. Because of the environment they allow on this campus. They can call him a liar, or note he has aggression issues, but if your child is younger and struggles with emotional control this is not the place to be. I should have noticed it earlier. Between the teacher turn over rate-suspicious-, the lack of discipline, lack of timely notification when your child does something wrong, and lack of notifying parents of trauma to the head and "private parts," I would not recommend. They have no real counselors. If you're not from money, all other parents and students treat you like dirt. My son was called trash and poor. Kind of hard for a second grader to process. Keep your kids away. It's just a bunch of drama.

Why am I being treated like the villain? Third attempt (three different occasions) trying to inform…read morethe school of students throwing rocks at each other and the person who answered the phone, hung up on me. Poor girl saying "that hurt really bad" repeatedly, and the boy proceeded to pick up something even bigger and throw that at her. Apparently, the school doesn't care about their students harming each other, and people outside of the school. Again, is my third time reporting it. I'm unsure as to why there are no teachers or anyone of authority watching young children. I will be calling the district to inform them, since the school doesn't seem to care. Linda, who I'm told is the office manager, was especially unhelpful and uncaring on the second attempt to inform. The first time, the students were throwing rocks across the street at me and almost hit me twice, while almost hitting a car. They then almost hit a mom and daughter. I called the school to tell them. The second time, I decided to do (as advised), and go inside and let the front office know. I was greeted by two women who were very concerned and ASKED ME to wait and speak to a woman named Linda. I said no that's okay, and was insisted I wait, despite my reluctance and not thinking it necessary. I overhear them try to tell Linda and she loudly proclaimed (I'm paraphrasing) "tell them to call the city we have nothing to do with this"..uhhh what now? So the two women, naturally, were very confused and said "there was an incident!". Linda proceeded to come over and be extremely rude and almost snide, telling me she doesn't know what I want her to do and that they sent out letters already to the parents. I said well that obviously didn't work and decided to leave because her unwarranted poor attitude was unfair to be directed at me when all I'm trying to do is protect the kids from hurting others. She then chased me as I casually and calmly walked away shouting for my name. Deeply unsettling interaction. Third attempt: today a boy in a red tshirt was throwing rocks at other students. I watched and figured I'd stay out of it given my other experiences until he whipped a rock at the back of a girl also wearing a red tshirt (hers has white numbers on the back) from a few feet away. She cried out "that really hurt" multiple times and sounded like she was going to cry, as she was holding her back. He told her "no it didn't" and picked up something even bigger and threw that at her. Where are the teachers? Why are these kids so unsupervised that they can do this? Someone is going to get seriously hurt. And again, why am I being treated like I'm in the wrong in this situation? I was nothing but polite and nice.

These missing resources limit students' learning in important subjects. There are also concerns about staffing quality, as many teachers do not appear to have relevant degrees, which raises questions about academic support and instruction quality. In addition, there are ongoing concerns about leadership and school administration. Many parents feel the school would benefit from stronger, more transparent, and more effective leadership to better support students, staff, and academic programs. The GATE program has also raised concerns about fairness and transparency in student selection, with questions about how consistently the process is communicated and applied.

There are also concerns about resource allocation, including spending on a garden in Las Vegas, which some families feel is not a priority compared to essential academic needs like Science and Arts programs. The Harvest Festival has also raised questions among parents about transparency in how winners are selected, and clearer guidelines would help ensure fairness and trust. the school would benefit from NEW stronger leadership, improved academic resources, better-qualified staffing, and more transparent systems to ensure fairness and better outcomes for all students.
