I do not recommend this school. Most school keeps there students safe but this school acts like it is but the teachers are actually hurting the kids. There is this behavior program in this school called the wise program for people with special needs and they have horrible teachers there teachers that get physical with the student just because the student got up from the seat. They say they will help you to something called they apr room instead they shove you. Example a student gets up from there seat a teacher says why you got up let’s say the student is having a bad mode and does not reply another teacher literally tackles a student down this happened one time before just when you think things can’t get worse is if a student is in the apr and they ask the students parents if they want to call 211 if the student is acting really bad if the parent says no they call 911 without asking and the police ask them questions and the student is in the hospital. Another time a student mentioned to me another student was outside of the school and calling 911 for dramatic reasons this. Concerns me so if your child has behavior problems do not put them in the wise program unless you want them to be in a hospital for five hours after school.

My child went to Highland and had a terrible experience. The principal is the worst educator I have ever met, she is self centered and doesn’t not care about the students. She would regularly single my child out and bully them to the point they did not want to attend school purely because of her. They loved their teacher but every morning had to pass Mrs. Banach who regularly would stop them and hassle them over something small which would start their day on a bad foot. If the school had better administration it could be a wonderful school.

Horrible school, all the teachers care about is getting money, they don’t actually want to be there, horrible policies, and all the other good reviews that mentioned things like “enrichment” are all gone now. There’s nothing I look forward to do when I have to go, please choose a different school for your child If you see this.

Excellent Facility, staff and teachers. Compassionate, cohesive and forward thinking. In my experience Wallingford Schools in general foster a love of life long learning,
