Herbert A. Ammons Middle School - Miami, Florida

This school is very nice overall. Although it's classrooms are not in buildings― but portables― they maintain a clean and sanitary environment consistently. The teachers are great, especially the history teachers; the material that they teach is very easily understandable. The only exception would be iPrep; if you're a procrastinator like me, I would not recommend iPrep classes. The type of students vary, but many get good grades and aren't trouble. There is somewhat of a big amount of troublemakers, but only a small portion of these are very incompetent. Overall, the staff and services in this school are really good. This is a school I recommend, I am enjoying my time in this school greatly.

If you want your kids to go to what is in my humble opinion the best possible middle school then, look no further. If your child is lucky enough to get into this school then make whatever sacrifice needed but get them here. Just be aware that as a parent you must be involved and aware of all the requirements to graduate especially if you want the I.B. Certificate. Which I highly recommend your child strive for. Currently they have a great principal and program. The school is very safe as most children here are all serious students and trouble makers or children with poor grades are relegated to their home school. Going to Ammons is a privilege so act accordingly.

Good Luck.

Went to this school 2 years ago so don't know if it's changed much but it was pretty good. One thing I'll tell you is that no one cares about the IB certificate after Ammons. It does not make you more favorable to any high-school. Teachers I had were quite good. Out of all the options this one's the best. Also if you go here don't act tough remember you go here.

It’s a good school but the teachers are the problem. I love Wilson , Hutchinson and Leveille.
The only thing is that many teachers aren’t reasonable and can give students a hard time. But it’s a good school like I said only the teachers make it average.

Out of all the school choices, this school has been the best for 3 straight years to me. I am about to leave Ammons to go to high school but I want to say one thing before I go away to high school. The teachers and students were great especially Mr. Mullin, a great guy. The only problem I had was that they did not tell you of some school rules before you entered 6th grade. One example is that you cannot wait by a classroom during lunch, or else you get a lunch duty (a sort of mini-detention). I got a lunch duty once in 6th because they did not tell us about this rule before we entered, and once in 7th grade (My own fault as I forgot). One more issue is (I really hope I don't get expelled for saying this) Dr. Sauri and the office staff. Only one person in the office has ever been nice to the kids in all of my years to Ammons, while the others are always in a bit of a sour mood. And Dr. Sauri is always (no offense to him) smiling, even when he gets a kid in trouble he will give a big smile while giving them 1-7 lunch duties. Also, if you mess up the slightest bit (like talking to loud at lunch outside) he will give you a lunch-duty. Overall I give the school a 4/5 and I hope this helps 🙂
