Academy for Academic Excellence

"I had to give it 1 star just so I can say how horrible this school is and in reading the reviews I love how an old principal was disappointed in this school as well. The bullying is horrible not only from one particular kid but administration as well. Ms. Ritchie telling my daughter that she was too skinny if she should buy her food or if she has food at home ( body shaming her)in front of her Friends embarrassing her, but she does nothing to discipline the bully! Then when a child let's them know they are depressed because of the constant bullying they tell her she is autistic, that came from the school counselor, then when you get upset they treat you like dirt! Ms. Lamb gets paid alot of money and does nothing to ensure the safety of the kids but I bet she makes sure to collect that paycheck! I will be going to the news outlets with this story since I have dates of all the bullying and meetings if you would like to join me please let me know."

"Horrible is all I have to say about this school. I cant believe i kept my son here as long as i did. The bullying here is out of hand. They dont do anything to stop it. If your kid fights back they are the bad guy! The elementary principal is a joke!! By far the worst school in the high desert!!"

"The school is awesome! It has good teaching and everything a student needs. Like tutoring, extra work and extra workouts for your kids to be fit, (If you don't want them fat).So this school deserves a 10/10 rating. Also, the bathrooms are smelly and all that and school lunches are okay. So I recommend for you or your child to come to this school. Academy for Academic Excellence."

"the campus is really nice and most of the staff are nice. some can be a bit rude and there are some teachers that are absolutely trash, like my science teacher. some students are rude here and there are smelly bathrooms, but other than that the school is okay."

"The students at this school are a pretty great group. The teachers, however, aren't. Elementary seems ok (we had one elementary age child) but our two high school kids both had terrible teachers. The teachers didn't care about the students, didn't care about learning, and were only concerned about "looking" academic/hard. Both of our high school kids are straight A students who love learning, and it broke my heart as I watched them become depressed and start to hate the things they'd always loved. I'd heard such amazing things about AAE my whole life, so I was surprised and disheartened to discover the school isn't what it claims to be. I guess the school has just gone downhill like most of the High Desert. I definitely can't recommend AAE, unless it's for elementary."
