Ashburton Elementary School 6314 Lone Oak Drive, Bethesda, MD 20817

"I have been here for 3 years and I would say the staffs are nice. Some staffs where nice and some where mean. The only people who get to participate in most things are 5th graders like the year book club, AETV, Philadelphia trip, and a lot more. The school's food is disgusting; Once, I found a hair on my pizza. The gym is big. There are 2 art teachers; one of them has a classroom and one of them doesn't. There are 2 music teachers; each has a classroom. The lunchroom is very loud and big."

"I've actually never been able to get my son in even though he is a first grader in Ashburton Elementary school. Several times I've spoken to the assistants/ director there and they mentioned they have availability in the mornings, however when I was met with a family emergency and asked if I could enroll my son that day and just fax them the paperwork during the day, the accommodation was refused. My son has attended other elementary schools and I've never ran into such problems with any after/ before school care , especially if they have room. For this reason I would not even consider registering my son there it just doesn't seem like a nurturing environment that cares first for the well being and comfort of the child. More care on the guidelines, payment first type mentality, which is okay if it was also met with priority accommodations for children. Unfortunately in my current experience it does not."

"I love the learning environment! It is such a good place to have fun and learn at the same time! You have to send your child here!!!"

"What a fantastic learning environment. Great teachers, an involved PTA and an adminstration that really listens. I have two kids here and they love it. Only complaint is large class sizes."

"Great school, teachers and administration; wonderful international diversity amongst students and their families!"
