Highlands Elementary School Reviews

While I enjoy getting weekly updates on my child;s performance, I am angry at the fact that my 4th graders curriculum is well below the standard for what fourth graders should be learning. My child is struggling in math, and it seems there is no emphasis on building strong foundations in learning. The school is more concerned with their 'Class meetings' and time outs, and less with providing a curriculum that is in line with what children should be learning. I am investigating having my child put into a different school now, and will not enroll my second child here.

In my sons last school year, he had a daily review. Each activity/hour he was graded on, it allowed me to see how my child was doing daily. That was really great to see.
