We moved from Redmond to Renton Highlands and was surprised to see the difference with experienced teachers in the school to handle the kids. The staff understand your needs and are cooperative. I would wait to see how my kids doing overall in the school in coming years.

We had a terrible experience at Maplewood heights in the Renton highlands. We read about and hear on the news about schools actively ignoring educational goals of students in favor of their own agenda. I would have an in-depth conversation with your childs teacher and understand what agendas theyll be teaching your child. Please be cautious for your childs own well-being.

Many programs for students to participate in, along with a strong PTA to build a partnership with parents and teachers to provide the best education possible for the students.

Thank goodness, but I did not have to utilize this option. I did not see anyone with differences not being supported.

Good School with involved parents and PTA who want everyone to succeed. This feels like a real neighborhood school with a personality.

My son is attending his first year at this school. He completed his grade requirements in the fall and have done nothing to challenge or teach him since, despite my many emails and meetings with Staff. I am extremely disappointed with the way tthis school yea has gone.

I have 2 boys attending MWH and they both love their teachers and the school. They look forward to going to school everyday and come home happy. I have attended many events organized by the school and PTA, it's clear the great level of effort paid by the teachers, principle and the parents. The teachers work hard to accommodate different level of learning and very supportive. The principle is capable, professional and enthusiastic. The facility is a bit old, but it's the people make the feel of welcoming and beautiful. This year we change to new teachers , seems more new students moved in, also new teachers, hopefully they will be as good as before.

This is our child's second year at MWH and we are pretty happy. Of course, much of a child's experience depends on the teacher they have, and we were lucky two year's in a row. Both "our" teachers were/are very caring and seem to enjoy teaching and making learning fun for their students whenever it's approriate. The school has a wonderful music teacher, who made the recent Veteran's Day assembly a truly enjoyable event. Thank you!. The office staff is very nice, and the school offers extra-curricular chess and karate classes, for a very reasonable fee. On the downside, the food in the cafeteria is not exactly health food: Chicken fingers, hamburgers, pizza - no whole grains and little fresh fruit. But I suppose that is a (sad!) district issue. - One thing that I am missing is a larger scale "Accelerated Reading" Program. At our old school children would stay in from recess to take AR tests or stay after school to take them, because the best readers (those reading the most books and earn the most points) were able to get rewards at the end of each trimester, plus have their name on a plaque in the office. - Maybe the PTA could fund some more computers to extend AR at MWH?
