I am a parent of a second grader and I find this school to be 'Outstanding'. The teachers are superb and the overall attitude of the students is excellent! Everyone is nice and respectful and my second grader loves it there and she is excelling in all her studies. I would highly recommend this school to any parent. Sincerely, Carol Lee

I am a parent of two Highland Hornets and soon to be three! I have been nothing but completly impressed by those I have had the pleasure of working with. Highland focuses on giving our children the skills needed for a life full of continued learning. As for the comments regarding the prinicipal, I again, have been nothing but impressed by Chris. Anyone with any managerial experience should realize that nobody in a position of leadership can make everyone happy all of the time. I truly believe, as hard as it is, that Chris has made many tough decisions for the good of our children and our school. Be careful what you ask for....the grass is always greener on the other side.

I am a veteran teacher that has been at Highland since it's opening. I love the school and the community it draws from. On the other hand other teachers and myself are heartbroken concerning its current weak leadership. Parents of prospective students should be aware of the schools work and learning environment prior to enrolling. I personally would not enroll my child until these leadership issue are resolved.

I am a parent of four highland Elementary students two have graduated and the other two are active. I love the community the school draws from, and the teachers. On the other hand the Principal is terrible! She has had problems ever since she started.

Higland Elementary is a great school! My child has recieved an exceptional education over his three years. He is the product of amazing teachers. On the other hand the principal Chris Larsen can be difficult to work with. He had a music performance this spring and sang a solo in the musical 'Grease' the principal was nowhere to be found.

My children atteneded Highland since its opening. My youngest is now in her last year there and we are sad to say goodbye to a loving, organized, self esteem building environment such as this one. The teachers and leadership are committed to strive for excellence. All students are equally treated. If you are in this district or planning to move to it, good for you.

My daughter attended Highland prior to our move to Arizona. The teachers were outstanding. They all put forth 100+% effort and concern for our children. I'm hoping the foundation started at Highland will carry my daughter for some time. The quality of education where we live now is nothing compared to what she received there.
