Dresden Elementary School

My kids have loved attending Hawthorne and have learned and grown so much in their time there. The school is continuously improving, and I've only seen positive changes over the last 5 years. The Hawthorne community of parents, staff, and students is special and welcoming.

Ashford Park Elementary has been an exceptional experience for our family. From the moment we joined the community, it was clear that this school stands out (not just academically, but in the strength of its parent and community engagement).The level of involvement from families is truly impressive. Whether it’s volunteering, school events, or supporting teachers and staff, there’s a genuine sense that everyone is invested in the success of the students. That kind of environment creates a positive, energetic culture that you can feel the minute you walk in.One of the most unique and valuable aspects of Ashford Park is the German immersion program. It’s an incredible opportunity for students to develop language skills at an early age while also gaining exposure to different cultures and ways of thinking. The teachers do a fantastic job integrating language learning into everyday instruction, making it both effective and engaging for the kids.Overall, Ashford Park Elementary has provided a well-rounded, high-quality educational experience for our daughter. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend it to any family considering the school.

The pre-k program is so wonderful. My child is thriving with these wonderful teachers. The principal cares deeply about the school. The teachers are excited to be there, responsive, and kind. My child has learned so much the past year!
