Highland Lakes School

this is the best school better then my old one and miss wheeler is the best teacher

I have never felt more disrespected by a school than I have with this office staff and principal. I cam to discuss an issue regarding my child and the lady in the office made it seem like it was a joke and a waste of her time.

I have two boys who attend Arrowhead! They both love going to school, feel safe and supported, and learn at a high level daily. We love the community and care that our boys receive while at school. The staff love our kids, go above and beyond to make them feel valued, and always respond to our needs as parents.

Great school great stuff we love it.

My kids (2nd grade and kindergarten) moved to Sierra Verde in the middle of the school year so I was really nervous about a number of things (kids making new friends, catching up with school work, adjusting to all the other new things, etc.), but I am so relieved and grateful to say that I couldn't be happier with this school, the teachers, the programs and everything else! The teachers were wonderful about helping my boys transition and adjust to this school by promoting an environment of kindness, inclusion and acceptance. The homework and projects are challenging enough that the kids have to put some thought and effort into their work, but manageable where they don't feel overwhelmed by it. I also love how well the teachers communicate with the parents to keep us in the loop for every upcoming event/field trip or assignment. Overall, this is truly a wonderful school and we are loving life as Sierra Verde Vipers!

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the experience my family has had at this school. After paying a very high tuition and dedicating an entire kindergarten year to this institution, I expected better treatment and professionalism. On graduation day, around 11 AM in 100° weather, the school allowed my son to run around after he had just chugged a bottle of water. Unfortunately, he ended up throwing up due to the heat and dehydration. Instead of understanding the situation, the school suddenly decided to revoke his ability to walk in the graduation ceremony, claiming he might have a virus and that other children shouldn't be exposed.What’s even more troubling is that they did not consider the circumstances under which he threw up. It felt like an arbitrary decision made without compassion or proper judgment. I can’t help but feel like this was retaliation, especially since my son is the only Hispanic child in his classroom, and the overall treatment throughout the year has been difficult and at times discriminatory. The school made his enrollment process very challenging, and this final decision on graduation day feels like a spiteful attempt to sabotage his milestone.Due to these ongoing issues, we’ve decided to move him to a different private school. However, the way this situation was handled has left us deeply disappointed and hurt. It’s unacceptable to treat children and families with such disregard, especially during what should be a joyful celebration.
