The schools education system is broken. Students do not get challenged or given any opportunities to better themselves. They do the bare minimum with everything at this school. The bullying is awful and the school does nothing about it. I would not recommend this school if you want your child to succeed or have a healthy metal state.

Poor quality education, some non-dedicated staff, my child did not feel safe or welcomed.

Wonderful school where each kid is valued and developed. Teachers strive to create a growth mindset.

If your child is entered into the LEAP program, be skeptical and reconsider. Coming from another LEAP program within the same district, my child was not challenged in the least at Ardmore. He was bored, and not held to the academic standards that he should have been. The communication between teacher/parent and teacher/principal was minimal and almost non-existent if started by parent concern. The school could not keep a LEAP teacher in place, leading to 3 different teachers in 2 years. It was a complete waste of 2 years of accelerated reading and learning.

Amazing school with outstanding leadership and incredibly dedicated teachers. There is a strong sense of collaboration and dedication between staff. Students are challenged and motivated to have a growth mindset. School focuses on students academic success as well as providing exposure to arts, music and allowing for multiple recess/gym time. They are focusing on developing well rounded leaders for our future!

Teachers are great! They really care about the kids. There's a Wide range of subjects covered for the kids to learn about.

My child had been at Ardmore for a year and a half. I must say, with the grade the school gets I wad surprised by the last teacher my son had. I don't feel she, or the school as a whole, is rreally in touch with the needs of the children. It seems like a popularity contest amongst parents and school leaders. I wish North and Jefferson had better rankings. I will say that regardless of their rankings; I'm hard pressed to believe that the schools on " the wrong side of St. Charles can be that much worse.

We love Ardmore School. The environment that the entire staff creates at Ardmore school promotes a positive learning environment for our children. My children have an IEP and we feel that they have been getting the services they need to help them learn. Parents are very involved in the PTA and love that this school not only gives our children a great education but a sense of community.

I have 2 children that go to this school and I have been VERY happy with the teachers and school. It is very scary having children go to a school that does not care or help your children. I have a 2nd grader and a kindergarten child here and they like it a lot. Never have I heard anything negative from them or other parents yet. I feel safe dropping them off and with the teachers making sure they get in safely is a plus. Very, happy so far and I think this won't change. Also, I had a sister go to this school 30 + plus years ago and she loved it. She was here for special education.

I sent three children to Ardmore and could not be happier. The school is filled with dedicated teachers and staff. Parent involvement makes this a true community school.

I love Ardmore so much, I can't imagine sending my children anywhere else. For the last few years, we have thought about possibly moving out of the area but I must say that is Ardmore that keeps me here. They have so many great programs for children that need a little more help and also children that need a little more of a challenge. The treat each child as an individual and cater to that child's needs. I also love the community spirit that goes along with Ardmore, there are always events where you can participate more actively in your childs school. I love it and will never leave...until they make me! :0)
