"I don't know what school the last visitor visited. It does not sound like Highland Oaks. Most of the teachers, students and parents are very nice and respectful."

"I live in the neighborhood. I visited the school. I decided to homeschool. If you are looking beyond an average education, then don't rely on the basis of Highland Oaks' high API scores. At their open house try to look pass the snazzy technological classroom equipment (computers, "magic" white board, etc), then you will see that what the school produces: worldly ego centric kids. I observed several classrooms during the open house, the ceramic pieces were freekisly identical. Teachers and parents were in a chorus about how much their kids were able to read or write. However meanwhile you had disrespectful children walking over their parents. The teahers were the queen B. No thank you. I want my children to respect their elders namely their parents. I don't want them to be ego centric."

"We love this school! The teacher's committment to the students is amazing! They treat every child as an individual and have so many wonderful programs that other schools don't have! I consider us very fortunate to have our children at Highland Oaks! No school is perfect but they certainly come close. I have met and worked with most of the teachers and faculty at the school as well as several of the parents and have been humbled by the kindness and generosity of everyone!"

"We'e been associated with HO since 2003 with our 2 sons, with fantastic results. Of the 12 teachers, 9 were phenomenal, 2 were OK. I've had email correspondence with them on different issues, again with positive results. Children who transfer in from private schools or other districts are almost always behind in their academics & skills. I have never experienced teachers too involved with politics. Parents & politics happens everywhere. Very active parent volunteers are one thing that makes this school great."
