I used to teach at Heights (2013-2018). Mr. Jackson was a great principal, but things went down hill after he left. Most of the great teachers left and found jobs with better administrative support. I left due to my family relocating, however I would have been very tempted to leave anyway due to the negative changes that were happening. The ESL students get a lot of support at Heights as long as they are in the full-time ESL classes. For the most part, students stay in them until they leave. Mrs. Martin is an excellent Bilingual teacher. Dyslexia services also do a great job. Where they fall flat, is the lack of resources to fully serve the large population of low-level learners and special education students. I don't think this is due to the teachers lack of effort. It's just a lack of the essential personal they need to fully help the students with additional needs. Likewise, the GT program is essentially non-existent. It's so sad for the kids would could really benefit from personalized instruction.

I would give a 0 rating if it was an option. The teachers DO NOT know how to treat students or the parents. Most of the staff employed in the front office are rude and disrespectful. The principal also talks down to the children and their parents. You are never allowed to go inside the school so getting ahold of anyone is impossible. My phone calls are never returned including when they faculty put my student on the wrong bus and could not locate them. I was never apologized to or reached out to from anyone at the school. I would never recommend this school to any parent. I am glad that my student only had to go here one year. I will also be filing a formal complaint with the school board.
