We love this school so much with it's rich history of 50 year in FBISD and the sustainability of teachers over the last 7 years we have been there!

The teachers are rude. The staff doesn't help with serious situations. The students are super disrespectful to the teachers. I used to be at this school a long time ago and I still remember parts of my experience. My mental health is still affected negatively from it to this day. Please do not bring your kids here. If it seems good it is because they are covering up the bad reviews from recent experiences. Just listen to where your kid wants to go and make sure it is good.

I went to highlands for 7 years, pre-k to 5th and it was AMAZING!! The teachers were all so kind, all the office staff was really caring, and I really think I learned a lot compared to any other school I’ve been to. Would really recommend :)).

The principal, Macklin is former military and runs this school like a boot camp. No care, compassion, or patience with the students. I had students with learning disabilities and she would call them into her office and yell at them. They would return to my classroom in tears. She kept a male teacher employed for years, knowing he regularly yelled at the students so loud it could be heard all over the school. This teacher would also slam his classroom door and throw things in the classroom in front of students. After a school program in the cafeteria where the students performed for their parents, the principal waited until all the parents left to yell at the students because the program wasn’t perfect. So sad! This was a horrible place to work, and I would never let my kids attend this school.
