The Heights School Reviews
Rating 4 out of 5 50 reviews
Our son started at the Heights in 8th grade. He was coming from a STEM private school (Nysmith) . Video games and social media and phones were the focus at the last school. Was so disheartening. He has blossomed physically and from a mental health perspective at the Heights. The boys live in the real world! No phones, in person interaction and development of their faith and spirituality. They offer amazing trips for the boys as well. Not sure what the other reviewer is talking about with their math and science not being on par. Our son is advanced math and is far more challenged at the Heights than his previous STEM school. This is a truly special school. None other like it. It is an older building that could use a refresh, but it has what is important to us and is so hard to find these days- building strong values for our children and living in truth.
Boys are taught to be true gentlemen who take pride in their hard work and ethics.
This school is a great fit for a boy coming from a Catholic Archdiocese school.
At The Heights, boys have to be on their feet! They have to use paper organizers, advocate for themselves, rely on memory and organizational skills.
These methodologies really make the boys stronger academically and socially. They learn to support each other and talk to teachers openly.
The Heights has a welcoming community with many families from a latino or Spanish background. My son is surrounded by boys who breath Soccer and play several other sports throughout the year. Perfect for those families who value discipline, having clear, tough consequences, and most importantly, having teachers who really care about their students and provide guidance on a daily basis.

The Heights School provides a great curriculum, which focuses on the liberal arts. The teachers are probably the best feature of the school. You are not only their student but their friend once you get to know them. The campus is also beautiful with Lower schoolers (3rd-5th grade) having classes in "The Valley".
