“Reach for the Stars” is Ashton Elementary School’s motto, and its students and staff aim to do just that every day. The public school has a reputation for academic excellence achieved by its approximately 1,000 students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Outstanding students in third through fifth grades can also be rewarded by being named to the honor roll, called Soaring Superstars at Ashton. Outside of the classroom, the schoolwide accelerated reading program inspires kids to improve their literacy. Program participants earn fun pins by taking quizzes about the books they’ve read.
Besides nurturing intellectual curiosity, Ashton also emphasizes the values of caring, trust, responsibility and togetherness. Teachers choose Astro Citizens every quarter—students who are positive role models, diligent workers and get along with their classmates.
Students get a well-rounded education at Ashton through specialized classes like art, drama and technology and extracurricular activities such as tennis, dance and foreign language.
Located in a residential area, Ashton Elementary School is convenient to the interstate and a major thoroughfare for easy drop-off and pickup.
