I am deeply concerned with the ongoing failure of leadership and accountability within this school…read moredistrict. After multiple superintendent transitions, there has been no clear improvement in direction, transparency, or outcomes for students. More troubling are repeated concerns from families regarding: Failure to consistently follow IEPs, which is not just unacceptable--it puts the district at risk of violating federal law and failing the students who need support the most Lack of oversight and accountability in athletic and youth programs, leading to disorganization, poor communication, and missed opportunities for student development Breakdowns in communication with parents, where concerns are minimized or not addressed in a timely and meaningful way Serious concerns about student safety and supervision, which must be treated as a top priority at all times At a minimum, families deserve transparency, consistency, and a district that follows through on its legal and ethical responsibilities. Right now, many parents do not feel confident that those expectations are being met. This is not about isolated incidents--it reflects a broader pattern that needs immediate attention. I urge the school board to: Conduct an independent review of IEP compliance and student support services Improve oversight and structure within athletic and extracurricular programs Establish clear communication channels and accountability measures for addressing parent concerns Provide transparency around how leadership decisions are being made and evaluated Every student deserves a safe, structured, and supportive environment. Until meaningful changes are made, families will continue to question whether this district is meeting that standard and they are leaving this district at high levels for better opportunities for their children.

This is just a great school, with a great staff. My daughter is a student here in 1st grade, and…read moreshe has learned so much in Mrs Giles' class. The staff has been great in their communication to me, and they are very tech savvy as well (email updates, smart phone apps for tracking student performance and picture updates). You wouldn't think a small town school would be that on top of things, but the big city schools could take lessons from North Marion...

This school and it's kids, staff and parents are simply amazing. My son is safe, loved, pushed to excell and in person which is big right now ! He's mentally healthy and loves this school his teachers the athletics and his schoolmates. I couldn't ask for more ! This admin pushed to keep us in school becasue they believed these kids needed it and needed each other to succeed. Thrilled with our choice !!!!

Weddle Elementary served as a host location for the Indian Education program within the…read moreSalem-Keiser district that my brother works for. It was the first time we participated, and we made it a family affairs, with both of our girls qualifying as our decendents with our tribal affiliation. We enjoyed dinner in their cafeteria before splitting into groups for learning sessions. The school was clean and cheerful. I enjoyed seeing all of the kids' artwork displayed as we walked through the halls. We attended a robotics class and a native class that focused on geography and traditions. We all learned how to make cornhusk dolls and left with one of our own. Thank you Salem-Keiser for recognizing and teaching Native American culture in public schools!

A great alternative to regular high school... I finished my last year and a half (and graduated)…read morewith Oregon Connections Academy. Each year they have an official graduation ceremony; ours was at the convention center. Prior to graduation I even had the opportunity to study abroad. In 2013 a small group of students (and parent chaperones) went to Ireland, Wales, England, and France.. What an awesome way to learn! I am thankful for my experience ORCA has provided. The teachers are very passionate and are there for their students.

My family has been with Ashbrook for 9 years now and it has been one of the best decisions we have…read moremade for our family. Not only do the teachers challenge my children, but they have nurtured them as well. They have fostered their curiosities and are willing to see how far they can go. My children are above grade level for math and science, and Ashbrook not only provided the opportunities for them to move up but the teachers actually reached out to us to ask if they could move up. The teachers and staff have become our partners and the families our little community. My kids not only enjoy the core subjects, but also love the arts program where they get to participate in art, drama, Pe, music, and foreign language on a regular basis. Additionally, communication and partnership with the school administration has been great. When communicating with them, we hear back within a day or two, and any questions or concerns are heard and addressed. They try to be as transparent as possible and communicate with families on a weekly basis. They also welcome feedback and have multiple opportunities for us to talk to them. We highly recommend Ashbrook for any family who wants a challenging and nurturing environment for their kids. We will certainly miss Ashbrook when our children graduate. Our children love this school dearly and as parents, we do, too.

It's okay. Curriculum is good, but not all teachers are very nice. Most teachers are great! But the…read morerules are not enforced equally throughout the students. Males are usually treated with more lax standards along with shorter, less developed girls. Some people are very quick to make assumptions about students based on overall airs. I was on financial support, but tuition is pretty expensive. Not many students. Some of the students that grew up in a wealthy loving family can be very inconsiderate with words. Dress code is strict. Dress code enforcer has tried to tell me where MY mid thigh was. Also the dress code does not provide much room for religious wear. Hijabs and headwear are allowed, but certain holidays might include certain attire. It can be a challenging place for students with Social Anxiety on multiple different fronts. There is no special needs program to my knowledge. I personally think that this school is a bit too sensitive, but that comes from a middle class public school person until I got here recently. The school is pretty academically supportive to those who don't require help, but it skips a year of material. I was scared to say this till now but it was also pretty terrifying the whole time. And exhausting. Mental health is taken care of by most of the teachers that are trying to get their own job done. Kids have said slurs, done VERY inappropriate things and made noises to others, and it's never taken care of. It always kept happening. Bullying was not addressed. Most people are obsessed with putting labels on you. And people wouldn't listen to me. It was actually pretty deteriorating. And I had already went into this school with crippling depression. My only friends at the school were much more support than the mental health support system or whatever thing they had set up at the time. And nobody knows boundaries. I'm sorry. I hope its changed now.
