I totally agree with the parent who says the school is going down every year and it is below the No School left behind Grade. The classes have to many students per teacher and the only good thing for us is that our daughter is well above her grade level already. no thanks to them. We are also moving from the area because of the school.

I love this school. My son has had wonderful teachers and he has learned so much. My daughter starts Kindergarten this year and we are so excited for another great year.

I love Highland Elementary! My daughter has been in this school for the past 2 years and she's really loving it! She has not missed a day of school, she is eager to wake up every morning and head out on that school bus! Her teachers are so sweet and generous, I volunteer twice a week so I see what goes on and I am VERY happy with the way they teach the kids. They're stern when they need to be and loving when they need to be. My daughter reads and writes way beyond her grade level and I know its because of her teachers. I am not looking forward to PCSing as we would miss this school very much! I too, think that the cafeteria is well organized at lunch time :)

I have had children at Highland Elementary since it first opened and have not been happy with the progress...it seems to be going down hill every year. The staff is rude....the teachers do not care about the children like they claim. Their solution to a child not learning is blaming it on the child not willing to learn and reataining them year after year. The class size is too big of almost 30 students to pay adequate attention to any child falling behind. They do not offer any kind of Tutoring for younger children below 3rd grade....and do not teach at grade level. They have failed to make the No School Left Behind Grade for two years in a row and you can bet that now I have to chance to move my children to a different school.... I am moving them ASAP and giving another school the chance to teach my children what Highland Elementary could not.
