Teachers are amazing and care about the students. Especially Mrs. Lessing who is the best teacher! The main reason why this review is four stars rather than five is the fact that some of the students here can be disruptive, especially to unknown substitutes. But the substitutes typically are unable to support the way we act. Overall, Highland is still a great school. SMELLS like an expo mark :) The teachers are very helpful and patient with the Pacific students.(P.S. This review is collaborated by 4 Highland students)

The school is tuff but worth it. It’s famous for its IB program which students who have time and commitment to take, should take because it is a very wellrounded learning experience. Cliquey esp between gifted and general education. If you’re looking for rigorous course curriculum, this is a good school for you. Teachers are generally very qualified and passionate. Sports are generally good- the football team sucks though. School lunch is mediocre too.

I could not recommend Sherwood Forest Elementary School more!! I went to Sherwood many years ago, and when I had to opportunity to buy a house in my old neighborhood, I jumped at the opportunity. The teachers and administrators genuinely care, and the amount of support offered to students and their families is unmatched. Obviously, we all hope our children never fall behind or need additional social or emotional support, but if that’s ever the case, Sherwood has the resources and the right professionals to be able to help your child. Likewise, if your student is advanced and needs to be challenged, Sherwood teachers and staff will meet your child where they are. The overall community within this school is incredible, and I have yet to meet a family that was disappointed with their decision to have their kids attend Sherwood. If concerned about test scores, don’t be. Sherwood is incredibly diverse in all aspects and your child will have the opportunity to learn and grow alongside friends learning English and Spanish in the dual language program, Gen Ed English, and those with disabilities learning in the fully integrated Pacific Program. Sherwood has also recently become a STEAM school, which will give students new and innovative opportunities to learn science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics that are unique to only a couple of schools in the district. Again, I could not recommend Sherwood more and will be so sad when it’s time for us to say goodbye
