5 I highly recommend this school, the teachers and staff are devoted to each and every child and help them based on the specific needs of the child. They offer a variety of extracurricalar activities and academic programs. My kids love the schools at ashdown and my daughters grades and social skills improved when they transfered to this district. thanks - Posted by Parent - deer3 |
