I have a first grader and a third grader. Both have been at High Point since kindergarten. We love High Point and would choose to move into the district if we didn't already live here. What I like best about High Point is that each child is taught at their level, the administration is supportive and

But, as a school, High Point comes pretty close to perfection as does Lisa Nash as a principal. If you are considering High Point, please take the time to visit the campus and to talk to the parents who have chosen to have their kids there. Read less

My child has been learning a full grade above level at High Point due to the excellent teaching and committment to excellence. I think it's worth a gander if you live in the area to look again. You might be surprised at what you find there! Read less

THose who invest in their communities should reap the benefits of thier efforts. I have not seen major score testing, and I do not think my child has not enough homework. Read less

I am thrilled with High Point Elementary. My son just started Kindergarten. He loves his teacher, he is learning so much and the school administrators really care. We chose High Point over a private school and could not be happier.

This would be a wonderful neighborhood school if any of the kids in the neighborhood went there. Unfortunately, I found out too late that the local parents send there children elsewhere. The reason? Crowded clasroons, inexperienced teachers, very little English spoken, poor test scores, and lax supervision.

The teachers were fabuluos even when the administration was not. Now, with Mrs. Nash we are fortunate to have great leadership leading some of the best and most dedicated teachers. Ultimately the education anyone's child receives, regardless of where they go to school is in direct correlation to how important the child's education is to their parent. Read less

Less than 3% of families living around High Point send their children there. That was the first clue. Our daughter transfered to High Point from a neighboring county and we were all unprepared for the level of disappointment.
