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.

I'm a high school senior, I think that HPHS is very accepting school of other cultures and heritages and is usually very open-minded and willing to learn when it comes to topics like that. I also like how safe the school usually is.

I liked that Highland Park High School very well prepared me for college; their curriculums are similar to college level courses and they have many AP options. I'd like to see more diversity in the school.

FOCUS on the arts is a program that many people will never have experienced in their high school career, but HPHS made that a core memory for me.

We have had three children graduate from HPHS and they have each become successful in their chosen career paths and made lifelong friends here....

We have had an amazing experience at HPHS thus far. I have found that there is something for everyone if they so choose to be involved. The academic choices are offered at different levels to accommodate levels of learning. The majority of teachers have out of the box ways of teaching the curriculum...
