I went to this school K-8. I am a doctor now and wish I lived nearby to send my child here. Such great memories and an amazing environment to learn and thrive in. Prepared me well for flintridge prep high school. Couldn’t think of a better elementary school

The meetings of the staff including learning, education, and teaching, I enjoy as of me and my experience with the core of the classes of specialties of the center since there are churches around this school leading into custodian.

I love High Point. Both of my girls went there from K-8 and had a terrific experience. The school prepared them extremely well for high school. High Point offers a strong education combined with a nurturing environment, but best of all the kids are nice. When I spent time on campus, the junior high kids acted like jr. high kids vs. 13 year olds going on 20. On top of all this, High Point is a great value for the quality of education.

Our two children have attended High Point Academy since kindergarten. One child has graduated and is attending a highly ranked high school, and the other student is preparing to graduate.Our children have grown so much at this school, and the care and dilligence demonstrated from the teachers is phenomenal. My son struggled with a math concept in one of the lower grades, and the teacher tried testing him in different settings- sitting down on the rug, sitting on a chair in a corner with away from his friends, and a verbal test. The teacher took the initiative to do this on her own and shared with us that he is just easily distracted. That is just one example of the experience we've had.Families are typically focused on a sense of community and a balance of character and academic rigor.

We would rank High Point as 10 out of 10. We highly recommend it for a number of reasons. One of our children just started high school and, thanks to High Point, is very prepared academically to handle the transition. The High Point community is very strong, with lots of parents volunteering and supporting the student body, even after their students have graduated. The school has also done an excellent job of teaching the students essential tools such as time management, working in teams, and effective communication. From an early age, students give class presentations (both to other students and parents) that quickly develop their public speaking abilities. Students also often work on group projects and learn to work collectively towards a common goal. The school emphasizes values such as hard work, kindness, cooperation, and helpfulness. The school also has set up community service projects at all grade levels to encourage giving back to the community. As an example, (pre-COVID) the entire school participated in Rise Against Hunger, a non-profit that provides meals to the hungry. We really appreciate that the school develops both the mind and character of its students.
