I used to teach at Heights (2013-2018). Mr. Jackson was a great principal, but things went down hill after he left. Most of the great teachers left and found jobs with better administrative support. I left due to my family relocating, however I would have been very tempted to leave anyway due to the negative changes that were happening.
The ESL students get a lot of support at Heights as long as they are in the full-time ESL classes. For the most part, students stay in them until they leave. Mrs. Martin is an excellent Bilingual teacher.
Dyslexia services also do a great job.
Where they fall flat, is the lack of resources to fully serve the large population of low-level learners and special education students. I don't think this is due to the teachers lack of effort. It's just a lack of the essential personal they need to fully help the students with additional needs.
Likewise, the GT program is essentially non-existent. It's so sad for the kids would could really benefit from personalized instruction.

I saw two teachers strike a young girl on the play ground on March 21 2018 around 3:00 pm on the south west side of the bldg. The girl was standing alone minding her on business I saw no reason for the strikes. Shame on these two women. I am so glad that this the last year that my family will have any contact with school.

My son has only been there for two months. His class has been on at least field trips that they have punished my son for getting a few marks. The teachers always be in the hallway instead of the classroom so how do you expect the students behave if the grown ups arent even in the classroom. And everyone there will lie to your face.
