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.

The teachers are very nice and help you when you do not understand material in class. The school is kept up very well in terms of appearance and the staff are very friendly. The school feels safe and has a very welcoming and friendly culture. There are so many clubs to join to make new friends and learn about new hobbies.

I have a son that is a Junior at Higley right now and he is doing great. I have dealt with administration and counselors and they have been nice, responsive and professional. He had a teacher that was not so great but they are gone. Overall experience has been great.
