Ashton Ranch Elementary School
This school does not treat students fairly and teachers lack the discipline to get children involved. It is no better than high school where only a certain group are allowed many opportunities whereas the remainder of the kids are missing out on many things. The unequal and unfair treatment of the children deprives them of a level playing field. The test scores do not reflect a happier or peaceful school. Many kids being left out are not only missing out on what shoud also be allowed to them, but they are causing those kids to loose interest and dedication. Everyone should be treated fairly and it is a goal the staff fails to see.
