Mr. Scott followed a very hands off principal who was absent or disengaged most of the time. When he came to Highland last year, the school was a mess. Bullying and harassment was pervasive and parents overtook the school to their pleasure. He came, set order in the school, implemented strict discipline expectations for staff and students. He even held parents accountable for our conduct. I did not like him at all until I saw the difference in my childs reading performance. I must admit, I was leary of having a stern African-American male leading a school in a community that has little to no positive Black males. He often brags about being the first Black male in the school's 120 year history. He decided to leave to pursue a doctorate. The school has not been the same since he left. I will miss him. I hope Columbus City Schools knows what they lost. The very parents that did not like him because of his color are now saying they miss him.

all schools on westside get a bad review, I loved WEST, great teachers, sports, band ect...

This school is literally one of the worst schools I ever experienced in my life and let me tell you why. When my son was going here they lost my son on a bus didn't know where he went couldn't get a hold of nobody someone did call me and tell me hey your son I don't know where you guys live at and I have him on my bus but everybody's gone now I don't know where to go. We hang up cuz he said he needed to call the school I tried calling him back no one answered I tried calling the school no one answered so I had to go up there because nobody answered I get up there the principal gives me the runaround I'm crying we had to call the police. My kid was bullied severely here as well to the point where I had to take him out of school and put him into a new one because these teachers don't care. The principal is the worst principal I've seen in my life and now my nephew goes here he's on a IEP they don't meet their goals they don't help their students they never answer the phone. If you try to call up there you will never get an answer you will have to literally go up there and talk to somebody I promise you that.
