To harsh they take it to serious with one little problem

Ashley Ridge is a great high school. Brooke Mathews, the Principal, has great leadership skills and manages her team very well. We have been very happy with the education our daughter has received.

I attended this school from 2nd to 5th grade, and I remember absolutely loving it. The activities were always very fun and creativity focused and in my experience the teachers and staff were extremely supportive. Not sure if they still do this but when I went on half days they would be club days and all students were required to join a club. There were tons of variety in the choices and I really love the idea of, for lack of better words, forcing kids to participate in those clubs and helping them to find things they enjoy while making friends with their peers. Feild days always included tons of activities and other events like color runs and dances were always enjoyable both during and out of school hours. I remember hating every time when they would have counselors come into class and teach about expressing feelings healthily and general mental health awareness but looking back, I think it's absolutely amazing that they cared to educate us on things like that while we were young. Seeing as I was a child I can't speak much on the actual quality of education but I do recall it being very parent involved and test scores look high so I guess they're doing pretty good in that regard. Cafeteria food was about as good as cafeteria food can be and the variety in play areas they had when I attended (2 playgrounds, a courtyard, laps around the carpool lane, and a small grassy area) was enjoyable and I rarely found myself bored. With all that being said, I haven't been at this school in nearly 5 years but if they still run it like they did back then I totally recommend it.
