Highlands Elementary School

The faculty and staff at New Caney Elementary have been very professional in the three years we have been there. I have had a truly wonderful experience with everyone and the teachers are very caring. The programs that this school has are amazing and the students have a chance to be involved in many activities.

(Accountable & Safety) The students are sent to Porter Elementary to help them to deal with behavior issues. Yet it seems that its more problems there with the students being bullied by the students that's in the program. The school seems to be covering and doesn't address the problem. My 6-year-old grandson was there for 3 weeks and had already been pouched twice and kicked within those day by the same student. After the last incident. We were not contacted by the teachers. We were contacted by the nurse. We immediately went to pick him up. We asked for a bully investigation on the 3/28 only for someone to call on 4/5. To say the investigation was inconclusive. Now my grandson hasn't been in school due to us fearing of his safety. The school has not update us on anything that will be done. Are if anything will be done. Are if the student parents were even aware of anything. It wasn't a reason for her call on 4/5 due to it wasn't a resolution. The conversation wasn't re ensuring that it wouldn't happen again are that it was or would be addressed. They all say they understand, but no you don't understand if it isn't your loved one. We will not continue to put him in harm's way. Transfer is the best option at this point. I do not recommend this school. I'm very disappointed in the way it was handled.

I have two children attending this school; one in the SPED program of ECSE and another child in the general education side and she’s in 1st grade. My youngest child who is in the SPED program at Valley Ranch has had only one incident at the school and it was taken care of so quickly that in a flash the incident was documented, tended to, and resolved! My older child in the 1st grade is absolutely in love with her teacher and classmates! She has been itching to go to school with her brother and now that it’s finally come she has had nothing but an amazing experience. We brought her in from a private school, which she loved but she wanted to be with her brother more. We are very happy with this school and we live and adore all the staff in the front office as well as the teachers!

I now homeschool my daughter, her life was horrible in kindergarten.

The idea that parents being unable to join their children for lunch at school is a "big support" is likely a misunderstanding. While some schools have policies restricting parent visits due to potential disruptions or other concerns, research actually suggests that family meals, including those shared with children at school, can be beneficial for children's development and well-being
