Highland Oaks Elementary School Reviews

This school is all about parent, volunteer and community involvement. There are some exceptions but overall the teachers are very good. It is far superior to others in Arcadia. Unfortunately the principal is a weak leader.

Outstanding commitment to students.

After being a parent at Highland Oaks for 2 years, I have been most impressed with the real partnership between the parents, teachers and administration. There is a strong tradition of parent participation in arts instruction, reading programs and fundraising. The students are highly motivated and the teachers offer them plenty of opportunities to challenge themselves. Well worth the move into the area.

Overall a good school. Qualities of the teachers vary. A very good music program and an interesting way to do art programs (taught solely by parent volunteers). Strong PTA. Strong parental supports. Good principal leadership.

This is a very high quality school compared to other public elementary schools in southern california. The teachers are open and easy to reach. The PTA is also very active within the school. There is a large playground for the children with an area specially designated for kindergarten play. There are also many opportunities for brighter students to move to more advanced levels. This is a well-rounded good school for any child.
