School Reviews
| 5 I highly recommend this school. It is like a private school but is a pubic school.
The teachers and support staff of Atlantic Highlands is a warming caring group of individuals. They go out of their way to meet the needs of all their students and parents.
It is very rare to find a group of individuals work so well together and they treat all the children with love and laughter. - Posted by Parent - ahenn |
