The school does a great job at facilitating events, keeping the family engaged with activities outside of school hours. However, their attention to concerns related to inappropriate language and bullying among peers is not properly managed. Communication is great when things are going well, but when concerns arise, a cold shoulder is given to families. The sad reality is that the problem continues with little support and attention. There are other families feeling and expressing the same concerns as well. Also, there is a lady working in the front desk that is very unempathetic and it is very uncomfortable to maintain basic communication with her. I will not be enrolling my child at this school in the Fall.

Highland is an amazing school. Principal George Personius does great connecting with kids and the staff are very kind to the kids. I attended Highland for only two years, but it was enough for me to get to know everybody already. Teachers are extremely kind and extremely effective in their teaching. The support staff are also very kind and also care about the students as well. I am very happy with going to this school, and I plan on coming back to say reconnect with the teachers sometime in the future.

So far we have had a great 2 years at Highland. There is great communication between parents and staff. My daughter has had appropriately challenging work but there doesn't seem to be crazy pressure on the kids. There is a very supportive feel at the school and I feel lucky this is where my kids will be.

My son and daughter both go to this school and they love it. Both teachers are great. I usually come in once a week and check in.They always make time to talk with me.
