High Plains Elementary School

As a military family we move around quite a bit, in fact, this is the fourth school my daughter has attend in her five years of schooling! I have never, ever met such a dedicated staff. My kids came in slightly below average in a few subject areas and they have excelled thanks to the strategies the teachers have implemented. Their desire to work with students one-on-one or in small groups based on their needs has made all the difference. The staff is also patient and caring. They went out of their way to make our children feel cared for when my husband was deployed. The staff also puts in extra time to do fun days and activities to keep the kids engaged and welcome families on to campus. My children have never once said they didn't want to go to school! As a former elementary school teacher I know that behind the scenes of those fun family days are hours of work applying for grants and putting in time beyond the school day to make everything run smoothly. Don't let the GreatSchools rating fool you, there are great strides being made here! THANK YOU HIGH PLAINS!

This is a small neighborhood school with small class sizes and caring teachers. Most of the teachers stay here year after year because they love it! The teachers are creative and innovative. The library is a beautiful newer part of the campus with lots of books and a nice makerspace. We especially love all the STEAM activities and afterschool clubs. While schools have grown and try to be trendy, HPE stays focus on important skills and strives to teach the whole child. So far we have loved this community school.

High Plains Elementary is wonderful neighborhood school! My child attended the school for 3 years and had great teachers and support staff. She made brilliant progress and always enjoyed going each day. Her teachers were encouraging and there were many opportunities for extra-curricular activities such as sports club, choir, and art club which my daughter took advantage of. The school is diverse and has a great community feel to it!

High Plains has been a wonderful school. I have had two students in this school and would put my kids no where else. The teachers we have had have been so amazing and helpful. The ESL program and interventionists helped my daughters get onto track when they needed it. The staff there is welcoming and encouraging and want all parents apart of the school. The sense of community is outstanding!High Plains ha sido una escuela maravillosa. He tenido dos estudiantes en esta escuela y no pondría a mis hijos en ningún otro lugar. Los maestros que hemos tenido han sido tan increíbles y serviciales. El programa de ESL y los intervencionistas ayudaron a mis hijas a alcanzar el nivel cuando lo necesitaban. El personal allí es acogedor y alentador y quiere que todos los padres se aparten de la escuela. ¡El sentido de comunidad es excepcional!

We have been a part of the High Plains Community for the past 4 years. I wouldn't send my child anywhere else. They really do care about each and every individual child. The school has a small town feel that i have found a lot of comfort in with sending my kiddos off when he first started kindergarten. All the teachers and staff know all the kids and i always felt that my son didn't just have one teacher helping and caring for him but a whole army of teachers helping him. Volunteering in the school i have seen how dedicated and knowledgeable the reading and math interventionists are at this school along with the SSN and ESL programs. This school has a lot of diversity and a lot of students from different countries. I think it is a great experience that my son goes to school with so many different cultures and backgrounds and he is learning so much. Along with his reading, writing and math he is learning about compassion, diversity, understanding and how to become a great person. The school also has an amazing Science teacher that my son just loves.
