Highland Elementary School

This is truly an amazing school community with caring staff, supportive community based organizations and PTA, and engaging enrichment activities such as dance, soccer, basketball, etc.

My son is graduating fifth grade this year.We really liked the last principal, Miss Lee, She was very fair. The new principal Miss Ski has a bias against children that speak Mandarin. My son and two of his friends told me that he has heard the principal call these children “Mandarin” as if that is who they are rather than the language that they speak.

It was once a great school . The principal pulls teachers out of their classroom to do other duties instead of preparing students for state tests. In addition there’s so many behavioural issues that a dean was needed in addition to the two AP’s. There’s absolutely no accountability for actions.

I would not recommend this school under any circumstances. This would be the absolute last school on the list of options in terms of school culture, teacher quality and discipline. It’s very disorganized and there’s no sense of strong leadership.
