Co ed till 1st grade.
MO, leaning more towards the left. Many mom's don't cover their hair or dress tzenuis. Education is phenomenal.

The school is described to you as left leaning MO and many mothers don’t cover their hair and you want to know if the mom is “aloud” to drive?
I believe it’s against the rules to call troll, but I’d like to ask what type of community you belong to and what experience you’ve had with raising children in an orthodox community.

What type of question is this? If you even have this question on Ashar, and you read & don't understand my post upthread, then Ashar is absolutely not the place for your family.
Do you know anything at all about what type of school Ashar is?

I know a number of ex- chasidim that switched their children from Chassidish/ neutral schools to Ashar. I don’t think that the OP is a troll- more like she is not completely clear with the type of school that ASHAR is.

It’s extremely modern, OP. Of course they let women drive. Most schools do except the very chasidish ones.

They also only teach girls "TSBP," and don't call it "Mishna" or "Gemara." Which makes it mid to RWMO in my book.

Are you leaving the chassidish fold and looking for a “cool” school or a modern school?
ASHAR used to be the top, most amazing school in Rockland but since lots of X chassidim switched over there academic level has dropped tremendously bec most kids coming from chassidish schools couldn’t keep up. lots of good teachers left, school is way more to the right then what it used to be.
Still a good school but not what it used to be.
If you’re just starting to get out of your box it might be a good option.

so why are people refering to it as not co ed after 1st grade?
I would think most of the social interactions are on the bus ride...
What about Lunch. Do they serve them different times?

Co ed means together in a class. Not sharing a bus ride.
