Highland Park Elementary School

Posted August 31, 2009

It all depends on how you look at it. Highland Park has not grown as a family; but a staff member so quantly wanted you to think that as she wrote it. There is still an abundance of turnover, immaturity of leadership and lack of discipline. My child has finally left the school and moved on to greener pastures; whereas he has fond memories of his teachers in 3rd and 4th grade, it was a constant worry to have him in such an atmosphere.

Not sure about the bitter parents. The test scores say a lot about this school. Yes, it was slammed over and over by the non-minority schools. Some even called it the, 'ghetto school,' because it wasn't white enough. Kids need to learn about the diverse world around them, and they need to master academic content. I think this is the only school in Pflugerville that does both of those things. The only one.

School is over crowded and loud. The school does not hold students to high standards. There is no consequence for not completing assignments and children who are ahead and do their work are not challenged.

The Highland Park faculty is growing into a family. After only 3 years it has quickly become one of the best schools in all of Pflugerville. There are so many wonderful things taking place at this school. The students are incredibly diverse and talented, the teachers are very dedicated and caring, the administration is supportive to the hard working teachers and tough on the ineffective teachers, and the parents are very supportive and present. The after school enrichment is terrific, the GT program is great, the Intervention team is super, the Diversity Night is one of kind! There are so many great things to say about HPES you can't fit it all in 150 words!
