I have been with this school for two years and have experienced nothing but problems. Lack of follow through with the leadership and the teachers. Skill set of the counselors and community advocates is a shame.

My son is not happy at this school. We moved to the area, so we had to attend this school for zoning reasons. The reason why I give this school a bad review is because of the students. This school has a major behavioral problem. My child is a very high excelling student, and the behavioral issues from other students is very frustating for him. He enjoys his teacher, just the behavior from his peers. Not a lot of activities for students to be involved in either.

My son had a situation with another boy bothering him on the bus. I was very concerned making sure he wasn't being bullied so I called the Principal. The following day the Principal Mr Hochman rode the entire bus route and my son problem solved. Highland Springs has a dedicated Principal !!!!
