    "The PTA and many of the teachers are fantastic. The Principal has a court ordered restraining order against her. Why is she still there? Anita Watson has a reputation of treating parents unprofessionally, is rude and inconsistent in her treatment of children and families. If a parent speaks up in anyway them and their child are targeted and harrassed."

    "Office staff has been very helpful. They were patient and I noticed they spoke with respect to the kids. I like how the principle and school fosters independence and accountability. I am a parent to my kids and not their best friend so the style appeals to me. The kindergarten teacher is awesome times two. She has a fantasic reputation in reading. My daughter has given her thumbs up on the teacher and class."

    "Both our kids are in HRES and the school is reasonably fine with some mediocre and some exceptional teachers. The Principal leaves a lot to be desired in terms of leadership through innovation and inspiration. Seems like that opinion is shared among parents (including below), but not sure what can be done, so our taxpayer dollars are better spent."

    "We have been very involved in HRES. Excellent band and choir programs. PTA puts children first by providing family building activities. Teachers are caring and very kind. Unfortunately the principal lacks professionalism. If you do voice a concern you and your children are targeted and "labeled" as a troublemaker and treated poorly. Office staff is cold. PUSD is an awesome district but we are enduring our elementary school years."

    "I have had children at this school for a few years. The teachers are wonderful. The PTA does a lot for the school, students, and teachers. The principal is a horrible leader. What once was a great school has become a poor school due in large part to the principal. It is time for some change at Highland Ranch."
