Ward-Highlands Elementary School

Overall it is a great school in this county.

Currently I am not happy with this school. They are very focused of success and being an A+ school. Not every kid is an A. If a kid is not an A student then they make you feel something is wrong with your kid, or make you feel like a bad parent without knowing what's going on at home. If you chooses to communicate then make sure it's something they want to here, if you share your concerns it's doesn't matter if it's about the school or teacher. I have never felt so disconnected from a school before. I have 5 kids and am doing the best I can.

My child is special needs and the teacher he had at this school was terrible. She was very unprofessional, disclosed private information, and talked down about my child, admitted to yelling in the student's faces, and didn't seem to understand that special needs children have delays. We have changed schools and things couldn't be better now.

I couldn't disagree more with the people that say it's all about the "A" rating/students! My daughter just finished 5th grade there and my son is starting 1st, they love the school and so do I! Every student matters there (my kids are the "B" to "C" "Average" students). They staff is great, teachers communicate well, field trips are educational, just an amazing school! Perhaps the half A*$ parents are the ones that have issues with this school.
