Also known as the Ayers Ryal Side School or the Ayers School, our school opened in September of 1961 and was named for Lester C. Ayers, the Superintendent of Schools from 1956 to 1971. During the 1998-1999 school year, the Ayers School was completely updated, renovated, and doubled in size. We have a student population of 450. The staff of the Ayers School believes that parental input is vital to the social growth and educational success of each child in school.
Parents are the most important influences in the education of their child.
We encourage parents to take an active role in the school by volunteering in the classroom, participating in the Parent-Teacher Organization, and following the Ayers Site Council in order to send a strong signal to our students about the importance of a good education. The Ayers Ryal SIde School is committed to optimizing student achievement by providing an environment of mutual respect, insuring access to the general curriculum for all students, and maintaining high academic standards. In partnership with the family, our students will have the opportunity to develop acceptance of themselves and others, to become creative problem solvers, and life-long learners. Development of the total child is our goal. You are invited to visit our school at anytime or to call us at 921-6116.
