Higginson School

We are in our third year at the Mendell and have had nothing but a positive experience! The members of the staff are thoughtful, friendly, and engaged and there is a strong parental community that really cares for the school. The teachers are excellent and Ms. Bott, the principal, really cares about her students. We are looking forward to our younger child hopefully starting K1 there in the Fall.

I was not happy when my son was assigned to this school since we live over 7 miles away and it takes him 45 minutes on the school bus. But we have realized that we WON the lottery! His teachers have been amazing. While he was on Ms.Hiatt's class she emailed constantly not matter what, I would receive a reply within 24 hours but usually the same day. The communication was amazing! I wish they expanded until 8th grade, its worth the trip!!

This school is not good. I wouldn’t recommend sending your kids here or if you’re a student wanting to go to this school. Some of the teachers here don’t even teach us well and most of the time all the teachers do are assume things that aren’t true and things just don’t make sense at all and whenever one kid acts up or misbehaves the teachers punish the entire class or even sometimes grade and making everyone feel guilty and tells like half of the school making it sound like it’s a reward. Most of the staff here are very misunderstanding. Many students here are very rude and bully almost everyone.

These people let my 4 year old, autistic child wander from school. My 4 year old wandered off and went all the way home. Anything could've happened to him. How do you let an autistic 4 year old wander off and rome the streets? They call telling us they don't know where our child is. They have no care for these little children's safety at all. Please don't leave your children with these people.

Wonderful place to send your children the staff are friendly and superb. Everyone in the building are always greeting people, smiling and working as a team. Alot of activities for the kids , teachers are very involved with the kids and their parents a perfect A+. I would reccomend the Haynes to anyone.
