- Rating:
(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Haigh School has great teachers, but I don't like that the principal changed Student Of The Month, and the Reading Incentive Program. Also the school is to small. It only has 12 main classrooms, they hardly had any room to fit in a kindergarden classroom. But I rated it 4 because of the way the teachers teach, and letting the kids have fun with field trips, field day, and recess. Overall it's a great school!
