Ascot Avenue Elementary School

I work at Ascot Avenue Elementary School and my son went there for preschool and kindergarten. The school has an excellent staff. The students that go to Ascot are always eager learners and teachers help them achieve high standards.

im a parent and in these last two years the schools test scores have lowered dramatically and i blame it on the inexperienced new principle that started 2 years ago. the parent center is also a disaster, but on the good side there is still some good teachers left like Ms. Diaz and a couple more.

I graduated from Ascot in 1999. I am now 23 years old, a high school teacher, professional photographer and fashion designer. It is because of the great education at Ascot that I was able to accomplish my dreams and beyond. I remember Ms. Roberts and Mr. Astenius as my 4th and 5th grade teachers, respectively. What I learned in those two grades I still utilize in my life today. I am proud to say I went to an inner city school and became a success. My life is only beginning. (I attended Carver Middle School and Jefferson High School after Ascot)

i graduated from ascot elementary school in 1999, with the Carol Heard Award. I owe much of my success to the wonderful teachers I had in those crucial years, such as Mrs. Gregory, Mr. Tellez, Ms. Sicola, Mrs. Parker, and Mr. Carr, just to name a few. Other teachers such as Mrs Roberts and Mr. Little, were teachers that I never had but still were great role models for all students, Mr. Romero (Track B) inspired me to become a muralist when he painted the two murals one sees on the side of Vernon Ave. I am currently a 5th Year Undergraduate student at UC San Diego and will be graduating this June with a Bachelor's Degree in Ethnic Studies. I hope to continue my education by pursuing a Master's Degree and a PhD. The community approach to education of Ascot Elementary has shaped who I am today and how I view education. Thank you, Ascot Avenue Elementary School. <3
