The school claims to have a Christian education and high academic standards. I find that very hard to believe to say the least. The school dismissed my 2 kids for expressing our opinon on the disparities between White and African American kids, 12 weeks before my sixth grader's graduation. We enrolled
... Read more our kids during the inception of the school 7 yrears ago but were never acknowledged for our contributions to the school. My child was an A&B student and represented the school's Spelling Bee contest. It became apparent in my quest for an alternate school HPPA's fared poorly compared to other reputable private schools. Our return on 45k investment in our kids were less than acceptable. Read less

This past year has been the last year that my child attend HPPA. At first i was very pleased that my childgoing to get lockers, move over to the other side of the biulding, a new gym and many other things that they 'claimed' they were going to out in with our $500.00 andvance the vision fee. But when
... Read more nearly none of these things they promised happened, i started to wonder where my money actually went. Besides that, we had had some problems with teachers and the students my child was in the classroom with. Yes, i will applaud High Point in their chapel and enrichment activities, but i am afraid my student will be behind when they enter the next grade. I do believe that they wouldve gotten the same if not a better experience if i had put them in a public school this past year. Read less

High point is a truely wonderful school. I am so pleased with the education my children have received. Their education far surpasses ap classes offered at public school.

I have been very disappointed with High Point this school year. There have been so many broken and unkept promise from the school leadership that my child doesnt want to return next year. My child has been attending High Point for several years and things have never been so bad. I was glad to see that
... Read more the tuition wasnt increasing for the upcoming school year, but the 'Vision Fee' was still being charged. I'm still waiting to see where the vision fee from last year benefited the lower school students. The students and parents were told the school would purchase a state of the art playground with their fundraising monies....well that was another disappointment. The education that my child received is great, but the church politics overflowing into the school got to be a little too much to handle. Read less

I am so glad this is the last year for my child! All of the controversy that s been surrounding the Church, is now migrating itself into the school. The turnover rate for teachers is the highest I have ever seen for a privet Christian school. At the beginning of the school year I did not mind paying

I was very upset when January 05, 2009 came and nothing came to pass that was promised. I feel the school stole my money! For the amount of money HPPA charges, I would not recommend it! Read less

You will notice that most of these reviews are for parents K4, K5, or 1st grade. Seems like most people figure out that the school doesn't have that much to offer for what they expect in payment, fees, and the latest $500.00 vision fee sprung on parents at the last minute. It was explained that the vision
... Read more fee was to support the church. If you don't fully support the church in everything, then you will be ostisized and you and your child left out of the click. It takes a few years to see this and also being able to get close to the church / school leadership. They are all good people, with good hearts, but in over their heads for right now. The church and the school still have many more years of growing to do before they will ever live up to what they advertise. Read less
