"Great school with teachers who go the extra mile for their students. Our two children (second grade and kindergarten) love it."

"Highland has many good attributes. The office staff is very helpful and patient. They have half day kindergarten. It's a very small school, therefore the children all know each other. And the staff is familiar with all the students as well. My children were new last year, but have always felt welcomed and never want to leave. There is not a cafeteria, therefore you must pack lunch everyday. There isn't P.E. for kinder. Parking isn't fun on days where there is a special program at the school. Drop off and pick up are pretty easy though. There isn't bus service if you live nearby. It's a 15-20 minute walk for my children. Which is difficult for my younger children, and if you have little ones still at home, it can be very inconvenient. The teachers make adjustments for different levels in academics. They have always been friendly and caring toward my children."

"I am disappointed with this school. Academically the school is behind. The curriculum is not challenging. They should channel their curriculum to cater to average and gifted kids."
