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.

After spending half of my high school years at Heights High School I would definitely say I could recommend this school to people. It has a very welcoming feel to it whether you want to join sports or band or even just focus on school.

Overall, Heights High School is a fun environment to learn and express your emotions whether it be in the classroom, gym or the courtyard. There will always be people there for you and although sometimes the administration may be unfair, the student life and culture will always be enough to keep you going.

I like the CTE courses but most of the teachers for the basic courses are very unwilling in helping you grow and expand your learning. Most teachers do not like to give the students they need to succeed.

I had problem with one AP teacher who feels that her life experience should be part of her teaching. She been though 2 divorces and bankruptcy. So she tells the students love doesn't exist and happiness is not real.

Reagan's culture and climate are safe and academically focused, but the students still have fun being kids. The teachers work hard to prepare good assignments and take their jobs very seriously.
