[quote=Anonymous]My DD "graduated" from Ashburton last year and attended from K-5. We had a great experience there. A strong PTA that hosts terrific well attended events (like Fall Festival, movie night on the soccer field, Spring Fling, International Night, Bingo Night, Halloween Costume/Book parade, etc.). DD was fortunate, with the exception of one grade, to have incredibly strong and compassionate teachers each year that she really connected with. The community is incredibly diverse, both ethnically and socioeconomically, which we found to be a huge plus. We also found the school leadership to be accessible, competent, and engaged. I believe the test scores/GS ratings have steadily improved in recent years under the current principal.

However, it is a large public elementary school and that's unlikely to change w/o rezoning or new schools being built. I think the leadership and PTA do everything possible to give the kids a great experience. But if you're looking for a small school akin to your preschool, you may want to explore private, parochial, or Montessori schools nearby. There are a number of decent options that will allow you to keep the intimate school and class size you're used to if that's your priority.[/quote]
