High Point Academy

"I spent one year in this school as well as two of my siblings and have never had worse school experiences since then even after seven more years of school. The staff is including the PE teachers and the principal were very discouraging throughout my time spent there and were a part of the bullying problem themselves. The harshness eventually motivated us to move out of the state."

"This school has set my kids up for failure. The school has gotten worse and worse. Many families have felt and the teacher turn over rate is equally as high. No organization and very poor communication. This year teachers have started using generic emails v actually addressing individuals needs and concerns. My biggest regret is not listing to my gut and skipping this school. We wasted years and it’s going to take a lot to get my kids back to where they were before they came to this want to be school. Do yourself a favor and don’t even bother. Their school culture is very poor and there is no camaraderie and certainly no leadership! They fail on all points, Academics, sports, clubs, school culture, leadership, and, activities. They lack in funding so severely they lost their sports field and don’t have enough staff or parking to accommodate the families they currently serve. There is not a proper janitorial or cleaning service and many times the bathrooms and cafeteria remain in very unkept conditions. The security is greatly lacking. Parents can walk in and walk freely through the building without preconditions or a raptor system. They have a front door intercom and still do not vet visitors prior to entry. They practice many unsafe actions daily at the risk of their students. Hopefully they get new leadership and undergo drastic changes as the current operation is a detriment to their students and the community."

"This school is going downhill. I have been going here since kindergarten and so has my brother and he is now in high school. The first problem is the cafeteria doesn't look sanitary at all. They have the door open the whole day so flies and bugs anything could come in. Next the teachers. I have been lucky with having some good teachers bu recently most of them have been leaving and going to different schools. This may not be correct but I think its because they don't like the school. Some teachers give a lot of work and barely any time to finish it. Also they have this whole month for anti-bullying month but nobody really does anything about it some of the teachers either ignore the bullying or are oblivious to it. Next half of my friends left the school because their parents don't like the school anymore. The only thing decent is the basketball and football teams. They've been to the playoffs the past 2 years. Im hoping my seventh grade year will be better otherwise I am leaving"

"My daughter has been going to High Point since pre-K on up and she really looks forward to going to school. The students seem happy and welcoming as well. It’s really the best school in the Green Valley Ranch area. They have a holistic approach to teaching, making sure they educate not only math, science, and reading, but how to be a community leader, how to live a healthy lifestyle, how to advocate for yourself, and to be kind to others. We love the person our daughter is becoming and we appreciate HPA’s positive influence. I am also impressed how easily my daughter started reading, she still loves reading everyday, thank you for making the process painless."

"Very nice school ! Even nicer are the teachers ! They greet you immediately I pick up my nephew every week and they have a safe system so they know who is picking each child up. I feel that is a great place to learn he raves about how much he loves going there."
