Ashley Elementary School

My daughter was bullied. The principal said “boys will be boys.” When a boy shoved her down and she pushed back he wanted to suspend her. At the end of year the same boys were bullying my daughter and he tried to suspend her again and accused her of lying and said “boys will be boys” and when I reached out to superintendent and dean, they said they have been long time friends and go golfing. He’d never go against what he said! I switched for this reason. It’s disgusting. He must beat his wife since he thinks that’s ok. He is a boy after all.

We didn’t love our experience here. It is very much teacher dependent and while some of the teachers are amazing some are definitely not. They also leave parents feelings in the dark when it comes to IEPs and special education support. Ashley Elementary, in the same district, was a better fit for our family.

I have 2 kids here. One in upper elementary and one in lower and we've been lucky enough to have had great teachers throughout. I've preferred some over others, but that would be anywhere! I also wanted to mention that the principal that is mentioned in some older reviews is no longer there. We had a new principal come in, in 2013/2014; also the office staff (that is mentioned below) has changed over as well :) The one improvement that I would really like to see is Technology-but that is across the entire district.

I just love when they have the "Santa Secret Shop". I'm a crafter and am so excited to see all those happy children with smiles on their faces. The PTO ladies are very friendly and also helpful to make that day Special. I hope they have this event this year. Maggie barnes

School treated my genius autistic son like garbage and never cared to elaborate why.
