High Point Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-07-20 “High Point is a wonderful school. They have such hard working teachers and dedicated staff. I feel like my children are extremely challenged and are developing a love of life long learning. We are so sad that we are leaving High Point. We will always remember the great times here and know that we will always be welcome back. I believe that my students got the best education they could have. In fact, I used to be in favor of private schools (I went to one), but High Point exceeded every expectation that I had and I chose not to send my students at private school but keep them at High Point.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-09-08 “I have Never been discouraged from participating in my child's education at this school. In fact, on curriculum night, one teacher passed around 2 or 3 different volunteer sheets for parents to come in and read, help in the classroom, participate in activities with the guidance counselor, etc. Additionally, a number of teachers know my pre-schooler by name and address him specifically when we walk my older child into the building. I also disagree that the classes are being taught to the bottom 5 in the class. I believe all children get academic differentiation at this school and High Point would not have the OAT scores that they continually have if the children weren't being challenged daily. This elementary school is currently the only thing keeping me from moving into the Olentangy district.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-09-05 “I have two children at High Point. We have been very happy with the education our children have received and the efforts put forth by the staff. I am amazed at how every year each of our children seem to get the teacher that meets their particular set of needs. I have a very sensitive son and to see him come home happy and confident is a wonderful thing. I also do not agree that High Point is teaching to the bottom five children in the class. If that were happening, I don't believe their test scores would be among some of the highest in the state.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-08-09 “I disagree with the comments. I have found that with all my kids the classes in general are taught at a level the the bottom 5 kids in the class can do well with out trying to hard. Also the school puts extra effort at keeping parents out of the school and breaking up family ties. don't try and walk into the school with a younger sibling.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-06-18 “We LOVE this school! Our soon-to-be middle schooler enjoyed school and was placed in advanced classes to always offer a challenge! We will soon have a kindergartener and she is already feeling at home there!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-05-10 “I have one child at High Point Elementary School, in the 8th grade. High Point was voted one of the best schools in the nation. Although Hight Point expects a lot from their students, they also encourage thier students to do their very best. In addtion, they provide one-on-one attention when needed. All of the teachers I have met are extremely competent and make each student feel as though they can achieve anything they set their minds to do. I would highly recommend Hight Point Elementary.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-09-17 “I have had three children through this school and it is excellent in all ways. It is a good learning environment; a nice facility centered in a nice safe walkable neighborhood,very involved parents, mostly well behaved children. You will feel comfortable sending your children there. Teachers are competent, well qualified, and accessible, of course I liked some better than others. Academic expectations are high, but in a positive way.. Student performance is exceptional. The former principal was Ohio principal of the Year (or something like that) and maintained a positive, upbeat environment. There is a new principal this year, with big shoes to fill, but my first impression is positive.”
