Great school! Great principal! Everyone goes above and beyond to help out the students. I am proud to have my children attend Highlands.
Highlands has excellent leadership. The principal encourages fun and creativity even in these stressful times with so much testing and high stakes political expectations.
My son is on 2nd. grade and he has improve way high thank you for all the teachers and their support.
Highlands is an excellent school. It has great teachers, a great principal and always includes parents and families in activities throughout the year. My grandaughter (now in High School) graduated from Highlands and still goes back to visit. My son who graduated last year received the President's Award for Academic Achievement signed by President Obama. My youngest son is in third grad at Highlands this year and loves to go to school. Highlands is the best and should be rated a 10 in all areas
My family moved to the area just to attend Highlands and it was the best thing we did. I love the concern that all the staff has for education and safty of all the children. Thank you Highlands....
Great School! My daughter love it. All the teachers are great and well concern for a good education to our children.
Highlands Elementary is an excellent school. The principal and teachers all work very hard to provide a safe, clean and supportive environment for our most precious resource - our children. The teachers and the principal are very responsive to parents and students. They spend a great deal of time and energy in supporting a very extensivev 'reward' system for the children. It is obvious that the entire team embraces the 'reward the good' and support the students that are trying to achieve - they recognize there are some students who need extra academic guidance, and they provide it. They recognize that there are those students who have behavior issues, and need some retraining or guidance - they provide it. The entire employee team of teachers, principal, engineers and volunteers all seem to be moving in the same direction - towards excellance! I'm delighted my child has had five beautiful years here.
Highlands is an excellent school. I enrolled my now 2nd grader at Highlands as a kinder because of great test scores and recommendations from other parents. I now have three children attending Highlands and couldn't be happier with the staff, other students and curriculum. My son was reading at a 4th grade level in first grade. The twins just started kindergarten this year. The ESS Staff is also excellent and my children enjoy the before and after school hours. Mrs. Cotter is the new principal. She did a great job as a replacement for Dr. D. last year and we look forward to her time here with us!
This is a great school. We are 'rolling readers' in the special ed classroom for our daughter, and notice a lot of other parent involvement.
This is a wonderful school with a staff that has always impressed me. From the office to the three classrooms my daughter was in, everyone was perfect.
