I am not happy with the fights that happened there, and also the drama it has caused my poor child to go through. so with further ado, I will be taking my child out of this school, and I will tell my friends to not take their children here at all.

I absolutely love this school. My son was previously at Sierra Elem. and I pulled him out because the teachers seemed to have no valuable interest in the children. Being at Heights was night and day. The principal listened to my concerns and made me feel welcome. My son felt safe and particularly valued at Heights. Instantly, I saw an improvement in my son's feelings towards going to school and the work he does there.
I can truly see that the teachers try their hardest to maintain communication with the parents with regards to the education of their children and, within reason, attempt to provide individualized education for each child.

Love Love Love this school....transferred from on base to this wonderful school. School is ahead in academics than on base so the teachers are wonderful with helping them get caught up. Everyone is so helpful and and just the nicest staff!! Not sure about how to take the principal but he is doing something right with this school for sure! Just think he could be more approachable with the parents but everyone is different with personalities. The kiddos are even more well behaved! Cannot even tell you how thankful we are we decided to take them here. True blessing! Was a bit worried about this school from previous posts but Wow glad I didnt go off that.
