ASHLAWN ELEMENTARY

Ashlawn Elementary School in Virginia currently ranks as the 2nd best public elementary school in Virginia, thus making it an ideal school for your child. Students in the school have access to school-issued iPads that not only increase their knowledge of what happens in tech but also help them and their parents to navigate the lesson plans. In this way, you can know how far your child has reached in the syllabus as you help them revise. The teachers also focus on assisting the students in understanding math and reading, so much so that the state test scores show that 94% of the enrolled students are good in math with another 93% excelling in reading.

Students can add to their knowledge through perusing the various materials available in the well-stocked library where they can have some time to themselves. The students also have access to the gym which has all the necessary equipment to help them keep fit. The school administration often emphasizes the need for fitness and has several programs in place to help with this goal. Outdoor activities are in plenty, allowing the children adequate time to interact with each other outside class, thus enabling them to develop essential life skills.

The school currently has 661 students enrolled in grades PK through to K-5 with a student to teacher ratio of 15:1. Of the enrolled students, 21% are eligible for free or reduced lunch, which is one of the means through which the administration ensures that there is economic and racial inclusion in the institution.
