I work with the best teachers in the county. Hightower Elementary has made AYP 10 years in a row and we are looking forward to our 11th.

Hightower Elementary School is the best school in the Dunwoody area and provides a solid education for all of its students. The school's culture is wonderful and its diverse population of students and parents feel extremely comfortable being at the school. The principal, the assistant principal and the staff are simply, THE BEST. I have not seen a school that provides a better education.

We test kids at the end of the year and beginning. Kids that don't keep up during the summer take a giant step backwards. If our kids do complain about homework, we ask them,"Do you want to work for a company, or own the company?"

No. Let the children have a break. Let their minds focus on being children. They'll have plenty of homework when they go back to school. I would not even consider enforceing summer homework for my children. They need stress free playtime.

Yes. Of course summer is for fun however they can take a brake from homework 2 weeks or so, not the whole summer. If you teach a child the importance of learing they will enjoy the homework even in the summer.
