Ashland High School hosts many supportive teachers, but unrelenting students. The administration and focus on diversity and the arts needs improvement. School culture is overall negative and student group bullying occurs.

Ashland is not a school for people who truly want to do well. The administration makes terrible decisions constantly, and it is not a safe place. Last year we had multiple bomb threats, many many fights, and a few shooting threats, as well as multiple drug busts. It is a terrible school.

Ashland High was a typical small city High school. There was a lot of focus on rules and keeping kids in school due to the amount kids skipping school. Instead of making school a place the kids wanted to be they just tried to make it harder to get out. Which in turn only made kids more clever at skipping class. Ashland High has the biggest freshwater lake in the world next to it and yet has no class that studies it or takes advantage of it. The school spent money unwisly
