Read what parents are saying about Highland Elementary SchoolMr. Scott followed a very hands off principal who was absent or disengaged most of the time. When he came to Highland last year, the school was a mess. Bullying and harassment was pervasive and parents overtook the school to their pleasure. He came, set order in the school, implemented strict discipline expectations for staff and students. He even held parents accountable for our conduct. I did not like him at all until I saw the difference in my childs reading performance. I must admit, I was leary of having a stern African-American male leading a school in a community that has little to no positive Black males. He often brags about being the first Black male in the school's 120 year history. He decided to leave to pursue a doctorate. The school has not been the same since he left. I will miss him. I hope Columbus City Schools knows what they lost. The very parents that did not like him because of his color are now saying they miss him.
Posted by a parent on 4/19/2015Very poor communication! Call and leave messages with no reply. Happens all the time. The teachers care but the principal could be more tactful.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAdministration has the attitude of their way or the highway. Teachers are permitted to bully and many are sub par as to ability and/or effectiveness. Expect to spend many hours with your child augmenting the educational process at home. Influx of outside neighborhood children brings an increase in disciplinary issues.Parent Review7y ago
