This school have behavior issues discipline is not supported a lot of brown and blacks children fall behind and there not meeting the a certain criteria thats already complicated to begin the teachers are over work if the kids are struggling in an area they move on without them my son with learning disabilties was kept back after I was concerned about he's grade while Haspanics move on im tired of the why the system is design to keep so many blacks and brown behind where its a huge chance some of them will drop out have depression struggle in life and want graduate possibly this is that school the principal shows favoritism toward many staff and students which he take sides with the student over the teacher over the dean of students over the conselors over any officials seems fair?

The class teacher was very pro-active and staff co-operative. My son was rewarded for good work.

This was the worst school ever. I requested a meeting with the principal and the teacher. It took them almost a month to get back to me. The only reason with they answered me then is because I filed a complaint with the school board. Beware, this school is listed on the louisiana watchlist which means that it is one step away from being listed a failing school.

I attended Highland School when it first opened in 1942(?) in the first grade shortly after Pearl Harbor. Our family was transferred to Atlanta after attending the 45th grade. When I entered the school in Atlanta, I was one year ahead of everyone there.
