South Meriden

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.

I never liked this school from day one just because of the parking and I feel like my child's being single without because she may need extra help I feel like the school rushes the students no one's going to change my mind on how I feel I just don't like the principal we never seen eye to eye and every time we have a conversation it feels like she's laughing at me

The rating placed on this school does not do justice to the professionalism of the staff or the care my son receives. Your Child will progress well here and be well equipped for middle school. I would rate this school overall 9 out of 10 objectively.

I’m not sure how often this website is updated but my daughter has done very well at this school, she’s improved so much despite going through a pandemic she did not fall too far behind, caught up, and now exceeding her grade level. She’s made tons of friends and the environment seems to be pretty healthy (socially) for her. They’ve also been awarded the National Blue Ribbon award as well, which is given to schools for their overall academic excellence. Personally what I like most is their security as well. I feel very comfortable leaving my kid there and even the bus driver knows my neighborhood, and what cars are usually suppose to be there and who. One time wouldn’t allow my daughter off the bus because she didn’t see my car, which if we’re being honest could just be the great worker and not the case with every bus but still... idk I guess 5/10 is the rating but to me that seems too low, I believe this school is performing at least a 7 or higher. Decide for yourselves.
