Highland Oaks Elementary School

As a family, we had a fabulous experience at Mayflower. The staff was outstanding. The PTA was very welcoming. Our kids have fond memories and are still friends with kids from Mayflower.

The principal is like a robot, no feelings at all. The school is very militant. There are very little programs such as music and art. The engagement between teachers and parents is non existent, unless you constantly check in. My child has only been there a few months and I already regret sending my child here. It seems like the district as a whole is suffering from funding issues or there has been a shift in the quality of the education.

School lies and is defensive. Not an honest school. The parents and kids bully each other a lot and the teacher's are not concerned about it. There are three families that I talk with and we all agree that the school would not survive if they continue teaching at low standards. My kid knows nothing about grammar or English mechanics, they have only read one book so far. There is rigor at all. The school has no standards. It’s like a fun house. The principal is very defensive and passive aggressive towards people. The younger grades do minimal work or activities and there is not routine if work. The teacher does all their students work or gives the students the answer which boosts the students social emotional wellbeing.There is absolutely no critical thinking done at this school. If you continue to enroll your child make sure you hire a tutor. The staff and teachers are very relaxed and don’t seem pleased with how the school is functioning themselves.
