Highland School

Posted July 1, 2009

3 of children have attended this school. I think 90% of the teachers are fabulous. The principal is a nice guy but probably needs to get rid of a couple teachers that are terrible. This school has awesome traditions--especially the annuall hawk walk fundraiser. It is a great learning atmosphere. Overall we have loved this school

Great school. Teachers and parents are very involved. Some complaints about lack of traditional math, but overall does well.

In comparison to two other elementary schools we have gone to, Highland Elementary is not very stimulating intellectually. There is little diversity as far as ethnicity and religion which is an unfortunate function of the society as a whole. I think the Principal makes some unwise choices and the PTA is undemocratic. Other than that we have had an adequate but not good experience at Highland. I do applaud the programs that deal with disabilities-they seem to really incorporate autistic children and children with disabilities into the mainstream. All the children benefit from this inclusion.

We have had three girls attend Highland Elem and are extremely pleased with the results. Our second daughter has dyslexia, the 'brain works' and special reading classes have been exceptional. Exellent teachers in all catagories. Science particularly strong. Involved principal. PTA is the best! Ask about the 'Hawk Walk' - it raised $15,000 last year allowing the teachers to focus on teaching instead of fundraising.
