Loved this down to earth school. Two of my 3 kids went here. I was worried, coming from the West Coast about them fitting in and adapting. There were differences, sure....but all in all, I loved all the new activities they involved kids in. They have days of the week that the kids are to dress "crazy hat day", "crazy dress day, where they where mismatched clothes, crazy hair day (we used a wire coat hanger to create Pippi longstocking) and many other reasons to participate freely in dress up for expressionism. Also, pajama day, halloween parade, play basketball against the teachers. Math camp, chess camp, Art competition and music is so fun at Highpoint. Makes learning environment more enjoyable. Welcoming!

My son is currently in 4th grade and has been at High Point since Kindergarten. He loves it. The teachers are good, and the counselors are amazing. We do miss the former Principal, Mr. Merritt; he was more communicative and involved with the kids and parents.

I absolutely love the school! My daughter is in 4th grade and has attended since Kindergarten. She has not had a bad teacher yet! All her teachers are very engaging and keep you aware of everything going on at school. They all truly care about your child's sucess!

My 1st grader’s teacher send home strategies that are easy to use at home and help our child improve his math and writing skills. They have a notebook to write down the answer to each question and have a whole month to finish the homework packet.

Mrs. Morris, 1st grade, is very engaging and keeps us parents informed about where he needs to improve and comes up with strategies we can use at home. She gives my son timely feedback and is working with him to improve his behavior and social skills. She has exceptional experience with all types of children’s educational needs. She truly cares about her students.

This is my son’s first year at this school but thus far his teacher has been working hard with us to make sure my son is adapting socially with the other students, making him accountable for substandard behaviors, and helping him reach his educational goals in school and outside of school.

They have a color code system informing the child’s behavior each day and they get less recess time if they get a certain color. They try to ask why they did it and what could they have done next time. The teacher gives writes down extra details in the notebook for substandard behaviors

I was concerned about the school going under construction and the setup of the classes but the teachers have exceptional experience in handling children with different learning levels and they truly care about his or her students. My son has been to different school’s and this is the first time he gets the support and guidance he needs in class to succeed and be independent.

Awesome school love it great staff and great pta love the attention and care the teachers give to the students

The school is an "Open-Space School" where classrooms are separated by hardly anything. Its extremely noisy. Children can't concentrate on the teacher when they can hear 10 other teachers screaming at the kids. The principal and half of the teachers are amazing but the other half of the teachers seem to be allowed to call the children pigs and other hurtful names and scream at the kids all day long. The classrooms have 35 kids per teacher. It's not a learning atmosphere its a disaster. The playground isn't fenced in, anyone can walk through the playground while the kids are out, and the children are allowed to run around and attack each other because the teachers aren't watching. These problems can only be fixed with money to build walls, hire more teachers, and get rid of the teachers who hate the kids and their job.

The only complaint I have about this School is the pick up and drop off is terrible! You will wait in traffic on Duvall forever! Its very unorganized. Its every man/woman for themselves. I hope they will have a better system when they build the new school!

The teaching assistants at High Point are fantastic. My son especially love Mrs. Shugars. They truly are a God send to the children. The principle, Mr Merrick is great with the children as well.

Excellent Principal Merrick promotes school rules,spirit and activities. He has the letter kiosk working again after years of not working. The parents care and it shows. They excell here in reading, writing and math. Ms. Russo is the best Math teacher ever! I was surprised to see a rating less than 10 for the school at least a 9; I think that's due to the fact that Highpoint has some special ed children there too. My son had an iep when he came with a learning disability in grasping a pencil, writing and speach. This school helped him with a 1 on 1 and he graduated to main streamed by 1st grade. Ms. Reed was an awesome Kindergarten teacher and I think she's the reason he did so well! I can't say enough...they are patient and understanding of young children and their problems.
