Rosemount had wonderful reviews, so I was sent here to attend high school and it was anything but wonderful. There were fights constantly in the halls, majority of the teachers just wanted kids in and out like we were a number, not a person. If you are a person of color, be prepared to be treated differently, because besides the band which is a huge deal to Rosemount , outing and making minorities feel like they are worthless, uneducated human beings is a close second. Teachers were anything but respectful, they demanded respect while lashing out anything but. Teachers definitely picked favorites, if you weren't rich, or popular forget about the teachers even paying attention to you. 10/10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

SO THIS SCHOOL IS VERY bad especially the administrators The boy one he is very mean and suspendeds ppl for little reason and he sexist and he’s a ped

Not Recommended – My Family Deserved BetterAs a parent of four children, all of whom attended Highland Elementary at some point, I can honestly say I would not recommend this school. Despite having two older children already enrolled there, I faced months of unnecessary barriers trying to get my daughter with a disability admitted—simply because of how Apple Valley distributes disability services across schools. It made no sense, and it created tremendous emotional and logistical stress for my family.While I strongly believe in public education, my experience with Highland was disheartening. Parent-teacher conferences felt cold and unwelcoming. I often left feeling disrespected and judged rather than supported. I was made to feel unsafe and unwelcome—both as a parent and a person.Some staff displayed what I would call deeply unprofessional behavior, including interpersonal dynamics that were clearly visible to families like mine. It created an environment that felt toxic and inappropriate for a learning space.In contrast, schools like Greenleaf Elementary in Apple Valley offer a much more respectful and inclusive culture—where teachers take time with students and actually listen to parents. I have nothing but praise for Greenleaf.Every family deserves a school that supports all of its children—especially those with special needs—and treats parents as partners, not problems. Highland Elementary failed my family in that regard.
