GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Super great school, Enjoyed my four years there. Ashley was the place I called home for 4 years, while I played football, basketball, lacrosse, and track.

What I loved most about Ashley was time and dedication put into the preforming arts programs. One thing Ashley could improve upon is the dining food serve in the cafeteria.

Over the past couple years, Eugene Ashley Highschool has made me become more of a independent individual in terms of my school work, it has taught me how to responsible for myself and getting my work in on time. It has also gave me some of the best memories of my youth, with all the football games and events I was able to encounter new individuals that have taught me how to have fun.
