"Sidewalk is not fully accessible due to construction, other than that they would not have any issues. "

"The neighborhood is very quiet. The neighbors are friendly and look out for each other. Most people keep a manicured lawn and maintain curb appeal, which is a plus. "

"I have loved in the Highlands neighborhood for four years and have loved it each year. We recently had a squatter issue but it was handled swiftly. It’s a quite and clean area. I love how large the yards are and how well kept neighbors keep them. "

"Hi I grew up in Highlands and now at the age of 67 I have come full circle. I have always loved this area. I've close to Ray Greene park and I really wish we had a small and large dog park. Maybe one day soon."

The teachers are incredibly dedicated, patient, and truly care about each student’s academic and emotional growth. The school creates a welcoming and inclusive environment where every child is encouraged to do their best.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWorst school to enroll your child into!! You will only know the difference when you go to a school that works with your child to achieve there full potential… they only care about student per teacher ratio most of the teacher don’t have a teaching degree they talk and do not act i the best interest of children…. I am very happy my child is no longer in victory… some teacher are the bullies not the studentsParent Review4y ago10 Reviews
