What makes Ash Fork Elementary a National Blue Ribbon School? The answer lies within our collective vision of building students to become college and career ready. This vision is shared by administration, teachers, students, and community. We have created a culture based on a growth mindset that has no constraints to our goals and our path to achieving them. Our teachers and administration are constantly exploring research based best practices and programs that both drive our instruction and win the hearts of our students. We take great pride in the fact that our Title I School, with eighty percent free and reduced lunch and a forty percent mobility rate, consistently ranks among the top schools in the state of Arizona. Our "whatever it takes" attitude has not only enriched the lives of our students, but has changed educators' lives as well.
