If your child is neurodivergent or special needs they will struggle at Highland Elementary. The faculty is either not supported or not equipped to help students who are not meeting academic requirements or showing signs of learning disabilities or sensory issues. The result is that the child's parents are frequently called and asked "what do we do" by the faculty who is supposed to have years of education helping children of all skill levels meet academic standards. Many children as young as kindergarten age are sent to the principal's office and lose access to recess at the first sign of dis-regulation because the teachers are not able to provide them with proper support in the classroom. You will have to beg to have a child assessed and staff will frequently direct you to have your child assessed outside of the school on your own time and dime.

Overall its a wonderful school district. Like any other small town/district it has its issues, which mostly stems from the mentality of the parents and not the school district itself.

My child went to HES for 4.5 years before I pulled him out. First, the leadership at the school is a joke, there is no leadership. This is a less than mediocre school. My child was being physically bullied to the point being choked and the principal did nothing. The superintendent is never around to...

HES has many caring and supportive individuals on their team (teachers, school staff, those in leadership, PTA, and bus drivers). My child is doing well academically and socially. My child and I feel welcomed in the school, treated with respect and kindness. Great experience overall.

I'm shocked to learn our school only ranks a 5! The staff and teachers are all so welcoming and truly concerned about each student. Our son transitioned in from out of state beautifully, due to the teachers and staff. He knew, and was known, by many of the teachers and staff right away. Although the...
