It's been a great two years and I'm satisfied with my child's progress she is reading in kindergarten and it's only been three months
Posted by a parent on 9/24/2018My daughter went to first grade at this school and didn't learn a thing. In fact when she entered the school, my daughter was a C student at best and her teacher praised her as being one of the smartest students in her class. Huh? Really!? That's not saying a lot for this school at all. In fact my d
Posted by a parent on 9/6/2014My daughter started Kindergarden this year and I have been very active at the school. The teachers are very nice and really appreciate my help. THe recent changes have really benefited Highland Elementary.

Posted by a parent on 11/16/2011My son goes to Highlands and he hated to 4th grade I have moved from that area so he could go to a better school. My sons teacher was hardly there and the other 4th grade teacher were not very mannered either. My son lost a lot of his education going to this school and I would not recommend it

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageKids run wild in the hall. Walk into the classes and sse if you notice any structured learning going on. Chromebooks not being used effectively, kids sitting and rawing in Science classes, etc. Their scores would improve if they went back to the good ol' way of teaching and take the toys out of their hands.Parent Review6y ago - Academy For Science & Foreign Language

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageASFL has been an amazing experience for my two elementary-aged students who attend there and one is on an IEP so she has involvement in the Special Education accommodations. The teachers are caring and attentive. The administrator cares about forming partnerships with families. The PTA is engaged in providing programs and resources for all families. I highly recommend ASFL Elementary!Parent Review1y ago - Montview Elementary School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMontview is a sweet community school. The students are so loving and smile A LOT! When you see students smiling it is a reflection of what happens in their classroom. The teachers are always working on something to make the classroom fun and engaging. I am grateful that my son is here. He transferred from another school and has been so much more happy. I appreciate this little school very much!Other Review4mo ago - West Mastin Lake Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a substitute teacher and have worked in several different schools in Huntsville. I have worked both in the inner city schools as well as the suburbs. In every school I have been in I have been able to find something good. This school is a mess. The teachers do not discipline at all (I am sure that there are some exceptions) leading the children to act like a pack of wild dogs. The kids fight (even girl against boy) constantly. The kids know that they will get away with anything and are full of hatred for the world, I really feel sorry for any child that had to go to this school. The principle walks around like he is a runway model and dose little or nothing. If you live in this area do everything you can to keep your kids out of this school. The place is like a prison.Other Review14y ago - First Missionary Baptist Church DC

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was a parent and a teacher at Heritage Christian School. My son and I loved it. The atmosphere here was great and there was a small student/teacher ratio. We moved in 2004-600 miles away. He still hears from his friends at Heritage. This is a great school if you want your child/children to go where the classes are small and the people care about about your child. Lynn GibbsParent Review14y ago
