"This is our daughter's first year at Askew Elementary and so far it has been excellent. We had just moved back into the neighborhood and hadn't heard of Jewel Askew Elementary. Mom's first impression after enrollment was wow, the Principal knew our daughter's name in the early beginning of the school year. Mom had to call Dad immediately. Dad & Mom met our daughter's teacher and since the year began she has been awesome in EVERY aspect that we NEEDED her to be. The only diappointing thing was Askew's Vanguard Program. Our daughter has a above her peer advantage and no one in that program has aided us with getting our daughter into that program or given us a pointing direction to any of our question. Mid-Year the Director or President of the program quit. This is NOT a GREAT feeling at all. We haven't met the new Principal. Our compliments go out to the former Principal, who is NO LONGER there. One more thing Parent Involvement is the BEST I've ever seen here."

"Both of my children are in the Vanguard program and have been there since Kindergarten. My oldest is now in 5th grade. We have been very happy at Askew, especially with the quality of the teachers and staff. Mr. Abraham, the principal is wonderful. There are several after school activities to choose from if your child is in the Vanguard program. There is a very strong PTO and lots of opportunities to get involved."

"I've had 2 children go through the Vanguard program and it is top-notch. They both have gone on to private schools and are leaps and bounds ahead of their classmates thanks to Askew!"

"I will be applying for my 4th child to enter the vanguard program this year. I am very impressed with the kindergarten, 3rd, 4th & 5th grade teachers. They have all been wonderful and very supportive."

"I've put one child all the way through Askew and my second child is in 1st Grade. Both children made it into the Vanguard Program and I would say those teachers are wonderful. We were planning to put our children in private school but Askew had more to offer. The computer teacher, drama teacher, and music teacher are incredible. We are really excited about the new principal was well. The PTO is very active and they do a lot for the school. I would highly recommend Askew."
