"Spooky place, staff and teachers seem self important, strange stories coming from the students. Definitely a sense of disorganization and structure, children look confused by lack of leadership."

"This is a fantastic school. Kids feel at home here and they all learn to love learning. The teachers are second to none."

"Highlands Elementary is a true Gem. It is one of the smaller elementary schools in Edina and the Principal and staff have a philosophy of active, hands-on experience based learning for kids. This is not a rote memorization school. Highlands teaches kids to be self-directed and allows for creativity and fosters critical thinking."
