Not for everyone but my daughter likes the fact that its a huge school with lots of course options and clubs. She really found her footing this Sophomore year- with lots of clubs and things to do. It feels like a mini college with all the options. Administration and front office staff are great and helpful.

While the school has a positive reputation, I have been disappointed by how it handles active and competitive children, especially boys. Rather than teaching safe play, sportsmanship, and healthy competition, the school often seems to restrict activities and remove opportunities for kids to be energetic.I believe children should be encouraged to develop their strengths, learn how to compete respectfully, and be recognized when they excel. My concern is that the school focuses too much on keeping everyone the same instead of helping each child grow individually.I also feel boys are often treated as problems when they are simply being active or competitive. From my perspective, there is not enough balance in how boys and girls are supported.Based on our experience, I would not recommend this school for families who value active play, competition, individual achievement, and a more balanced approach to discipline and development.

My child’s experience at heatherwood this year has been awful. He has experienced bullying, witnessed serious assaults, kids doing drugs/vaping in the bathrooms, and more. All of which has been completely dismissed by administration. Last week he was pushed into a wall and broke his collar bone… the women in the office said he was exaggerating and fine. Luckily, he called me because they weren’t going to. When he returned to school they asked him if we were going to sue. The education isn’t worth these struggles either. Too many of the teachers are disengaged and the kids spend far too much class time on YouTube. We won’t be returning next year.
