GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

High point High School, Ive experienced so much throught my years . I love how its about the saftey of students and for the future of this generation. Ive gotten alot of help from my teacher, counselors, friends, etc. Its not just a diverse school but an equal opportunity school that is extremely important and how every student is unique in their own way.

When i went to this school, it was great, i would play sports, make the team, make new friends, experience the real high school experience. What was bad about this school was there were times of inappropriateness.

Some of the teacher at the school can make you love it but some make you hate it. The administration seems to have their priorities mixed and focus on no important issues. On top of that the students also make to school worse
