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.

The reason why I rate this school three stars because the students were bullying me for no reason they were teasing me about my weight and none of the staffs did anything about it at all and the co worker lady in the cafeteria made false accusations about me calling out sick alot and she was rushing me on my job i would never ever work for the trotter elementary school anymore.

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.
