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.

My experience at Ashbrook has been great overall the best part was meeting new people and being one big team learning something new everyday with our amazing teachers. The worst part is the fights. If there was one thing I could change about Ashbrook high school it would be the fights.

My overall experience at Ashbrook High School is pretty good I have been going there since my freshman year even though I started out virtually, but when I actually physically got to go I met some really cool people and had good experiences with the teacher that I've had overall I would not change the high school I go to.
