My children have gone to excellent schools in the past with excellent teachers willing to help when help is needed and communicating issues that arise in a timely fashion. I am disappointed with this school and have had issues with communication or the lack of, bullying and the indifference with respect to it, and the failure of guidance for a student failing in a course. I have never experienced such inattentiveness in a school in over 60 years and can say this is the worst.

Very Disappointed – Not a Safe or Supportive EnvironmentAs a parent of a child with diabetes, I expected this school to provide basic accommodations and support, but unfortunately, that has not been the case. My child has not been given the proper care or attention needed to manage his medical condition during school hours, which is not only upsetting but also dangerous.The communication between the school and families is incredibly poor. I’ve reached out multiple times with concerns, only to be ignored or brushed off. The staff, including the front reception, are consistently rude and unprofessional. It feels like no one genuinely cares about the well-being of the students.Bullying is a huge issue here, and nothing is done to stop it. The teachers and administration turn a blind eye, even when serious incidents are reported. There are constant fights, and it creates an unsafe and toxic environment for all students.I am extremely unhappy with the way this school is run and the lack of compassion and competence shown by the staff. I would not recommend this school to any parent who wants their child to be safe, supported, and treated with basic human decency.

My daughter has really enjoyed her experience at Highland Lakes. After considering many schools (charter and private) we are happy we with the school we were zoned for.
