My son is currently in 4th grade and has been at High Point since Kindergarten. He loves it. The teachers are good, and the counselors are amazing. We do miss the former Principal, Mr. Merritt; he was more communicative and involved with the kids and parents.

My son attended Marley Elementary and had wonderful teachers from kindergarten through second grade. After being redistricted to a different school, he truly missed Marley and the positive experience he had there.

Pasadena is a good school with an Autism Program that is severly lacking. My son is autistic and attended Pasadena from Kindergarten through 5th grade. I do not think Pasadena is equipped to handle the needs of their students with disabilities. The entire time my son was enrolled I constantly received contradicting information from the staff at the school. I received constant calls to advise the my son was hit by other students. Twice he was able to elope from the school. There was also an incident where my son was abused by a teacher aide and that aide was fired due to the incident. My son is now moving on to Middle School and I am battling the county where his next placement will be. I was given incorrect information regarding his placement earlier in year and not advised of the chances til mere weeks before school ended. I think Pasadena is a good place for typical children but if your child has special needs I cannot recommend Pasadena based on the difficulties we faced.

I have two children my daughter went from K-5th grade and I had a pleasant experience with her educators, counselors,administrators throughout her time there. Her little brother went to Kindergarten and his experience was exceptional the little boy who walked in there terrified a huge disadvantage due to covid with pre school or prior education. He was switched with no issue because I felt the other reaches personality would be a better fit and it was. She was patient kind honest and helpful. My son has so much more confidence this year. They put thr resources he needed into place and I am very happy with his experience as well as mine thus far.

Freetown has definitely improved my children's outlook on school, engagement in learning & has worked extremely hard to build a relationship with the community & with the families.

Because I know that my children are getting the education they need to prepare them for the future God has for them! And my kids are so happy at the school they would never want to go anywhere else!
