Highline High School

This school sucks. Don't send your kids here. I used to go here but I was bullied so severely I developed an anxiety disorder, and PTSD. The teachers did absolutely nothing.

It is overall a decent school. Although, it is a bit unorganized and the leadership is lacking. PTSA is going downhill. Principal Totten does her job fairly well, but she get easily flustered and immature when things don’t go her way. It is easy to spot this with her. We need strong leadership and levelness for GHE to be excellent. There is no room for pettiness and chaos when it comes to leading a large school like GHE. I wish to see more accountability and professionalism from leadership so teachers and staff can follow. Teachers are excellent but also lack leadership qualities.

I had to pull my child out of this DISTRICT because these teachers prioritize teaching little kids Spanish over their own language. The teachers prioritize partying over the students education. My child says that they can't trust own teachers, there was no honesty. My child also did not feels safe at school whatsoever, there is little to no protection and constant lock downs. After the school year finished of my child's second grade year. My child didn't know the alphabet, didn't know how to read and struggled on speaking his own language. So thanks a lot hazel valley for doing that.

Teachers are extremely involved with all students. Safety is definitely one of the biggest priorities. My daughter struggles with school a lot due to medical issues and she has been doing amazing since she started attending this school !

I am a grandparent pleased with what I have observed during the 7 years my grandchildren have attended St Francis.Beyond the fine academics, I have been most impressed by the schools efforts to educatethe "whole" person and not just infuse knowledge.I was also very impressed with my grandson's sixth grade teacher who divided students into quads.A student wonpoints for their group if they caught the teacher making and error in math ,spelling etc.I thought it a clever idea for sustaining student's attentionand alertness.There is "education" going on at St Francis beyond schooling or as Mark Twain said "I never let schooling interfere with my education!".St Francis is a great school with committed teachers and a very supportive community of parents!
