Highland Park High School

This school has helped me become a better person and a life long learner. I would not trade my experiences here for the world. Teachers and staff were helpful and supportive throughout my schooling.

Our children thrive at Scott Dual Language. They have learned so many important skills and have been supported to become great humans.

My child attended this school from kindergarten to part of second grade, during my child’s second grade year, I decided to pull him from this school. Each year was worse and worse to the point that I decided to pull my child from Williams. The current principal, Kari Ritter, is not an effective principal and her attitude does not reflect that of a leader. We had a meeting with Kari and other staff due to my concerns about my child while at this school, during the meeting, Kari was snobby, rude, and demeaning. My concerns were not addressed at the meeting and the meeting actually made my child’s school experience worse. Parents, please look at the test scores at Williams, that alone is reason enough to not enroll your child at this school. I encourage parents to find an elementary school that truly cares about academics in addition to your child’s safety and learning environment….My child now attends a different elementary school where he is flourishing academically and he really loves school now.

Dr. Gardner has transformed the culture of Ross Elementary. I am confident in my children's safety and learning at school. Communication from the school leaders and teachers is much better. Ross Proud!
