[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, definitely NOT Ashburton![/quote] Yes, I'd like to know why not Ashburton too. My child will likely start PEP there in the fall.[/quote] As someone who has had a special needs child at Ashburton for several years (though not in PEP so I can't comment on that), the problem is the administration who is obsessed with the school's test scores and has little patience or understanding for SN kids. Ashburton tends to score lower than most of the other ES in the cluster and, from what I've heard from friends and family with kids at KP or Wyngate, focuses much more on prepping for the MSAs. Some of the teachers have been amazing and have bent over backwards to accommodate DC but overall, the culture of the school is punitive. Plus, it is horribly overcrowded.[/quote]
