Highline Home School Center

We have been so excited about the care and support our kids have received. The staff is engaging, personable, and truly care about their students. It’s been so fantastic to work with such an awesome team of educators.

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.

My child has attended Marvista for two years and really enjoys it. Her reading and math skills have improved tremendously and the school has a great local community spirit. The PTSA is very engaged and provides free school supplies for ALL children. My daughter loves the breakfast/lunch options, and feels safe and welcome at her school. We receive consistent communication from her teacher, and I appreciate that the school also has had free community field trips to places like the Point Defiance Zoo, the ballet, and state parks for hikes. Talking to some of our family friends, other Highline and SPS schools don't have the same opportunities. We're glad our kid is a Marvista Orca.

I went to this school! 1st grade to 3rd grade and it was literally the besttt, so nostalgic to drive by it sometimes lolawesome teachers

I cannot say enough with my words how wonderful this community is! Ms Jones is an amazing leader in this community! Everytime I go in, I feel I was welcomed and greeted. I witnessed my kid and his classmates’ progress in Academics and also social emotional learning. We feel so grateful to have great educators in North hill! Attentive and warm loving environment for Students!
