2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur daughter attends East High and is provided special education. She is supported, engaged, and thriving due to the love and support of the staff. Others in the school acknowledge that have come to know her, go out of their way to say hi or a quick chat. Students and staff encourage her and help her have the best day she can.Parent Review4y ago - George Washington Carver Academy

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHighland is the definition of "train-wreck Waterloo." The two teachers who posted below seem to be scripted - "lack of parent involvement" must be a term someone teaches the employees to use. I have two children at this school and I absolutely dread every time I have to deal with the staff. One teacher we've experienced was actually a good teacher - even great. The rest have seemed quite under-educated, or at least under-developed. Multiple times our child has spent a good part of the day in the nurse's office and we never even received a phone call. I could go on and on but I think my point is already clear. Luckily I'll be going to graduate school next year and my children will be transferred away from Highland before the poor environment does any unrepairable damage.Parent Review11y ago
