Our daughter loves the library and the swimming pool. The values of the school - inclusivity, empathy, and respect - really shine through in everyday life. *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — Some ups and downs, but overall a positive experience: We had mixed feelings about the Ashley School during our time there. The staff were often overworked and under-resourced, which sometimes led to inconsistent care. However, the school's commitment to special needs education was genuinely impressive, and our son thrived in the residential program. It's a complex place, but we're grateful for the experience. *(Jun 2020)*
