    My daughter's school played in a volleyball tournament here. The gym is relatively easy to access…read morefrom the interstate and looks to be updated. The first reaction I got from her was cringe to the 'Warrior' mascot plastered everywhere. As indigenous people, this has been a sore subject my entire life. I hope they follow others and realize that having a race as a mascot is terribly offensive. In a positive note, I appreciated that feminine products were readily available free of charge in the ladies rooms. We stayed the entire day, and the girls took home the trophy! Nice way to spend a Saturday in a cute little town.

    We are having an amazing experience at PHS so far! I would give 5 stars but nobody is perfect,…read moreright? I'm so glad we live in this school district and our kids (just one attending here so far) will be benefitting from this school. The size of the school is small and feels like a private school because we have very close contact with the staff, and always know what our kids is up to. The majority of the teachers are AMAZING. They are enthusiastic about teaching and seem happy to show up for their students every day. My kid's teachers all take a genuine interest in him. He struggles at times and they have been very supportive, inclusive, and work toward his strengths. I wish my High School education had been as enlightening as this. My kid is learning in a very creative and insightful way. The science program is excellent, and the language arts curriculum is some of the best I've seen. There is a very talented music program with a band and choir who has gone to state many times and placed in the top 5 in the state. There are also very strong sports programs and many opportunities to try something new. My kid has also learned some really cool life skills (wood working, cooking, personal finance). The secondary language program is lacking a bit, but we have found resources within our community to help fill in the gap. We feel so lucky to be here at this time in our kids' lives. This school is public but feels like a high tuition private program.

    It's okay. Curriculum is good, but not all teachers are very nice. Most teachers are great! But the…read morerules are not enforced equally throughout the students. Males are usually treated with more lax standards along with shorter, less developed girls. Some people are very quick to make assumptions about students based on overall airs. I was on financial support, but tuition is pretty expensive. Not many students. Some of the students that grew up in a wealthy loving family can be very inconsiderate with words. Dress code is strict. Dress code enforcer has tried to tell me where MY mid thigh was. Also the dress code does not provide much room for religious wear. Hijabs and headwear are allowed, but certain holidays might include certain attire. It can be a challenging place for students with Social Anxiety on multiple different fronts. There is no special needs program to my knowledge. I personally think that this school is a bit too sensitive, but that comes from a middle class public school person until I got here recently. The school is pretty academically supportive to those who don't require help, but it skips a year of material. I was scared to say this till now but it was also pretty terrifying the whole time. And exhausting. Mental health is taken care of by most of the teachers that are trying to get their own job done. Kids have said slurs, done VERY inappropriate things and made noises to others, and it's never taken care of. It always kept happening. Bullying was not addressed. Most people are obsessed with putting labels on you. And people wouldn't listen to me. It was actually pretty deteriorating. And I had already went into this school with crippling depression. My only friends at the school were much more support than the mental health support system or whatever thing they had set up at the time. And nobody knows boundaries. I'm sorry. I hope its changed now.

    We have had a student at Ashbrook for over five years now and have found the school to be attentive…read moreto our concerns when on occasion they arise. They have good foundational philosophy about how our children can be raised to have good character and be good citizens. They allow students who want to excel to do so, while if there is any hiccup, teachers work with staff and parents to find a good solution to get the student to back up to par. We find Ashbrook to be the best option in the area.
