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 came to this school from a very small grade school. I'm glad I joined the soccer team right away,so I already had friends when I started my freshman year. The school is beautiful with a great music and arts department, great stadium, plenty of clubs to choose from.

Highland High School greatly values academics. The school brags about its high standings in academic rankings. AP classes are valued much higher that CCP classes which is unfortunate. I would like to see some CCP classes come to the school. I would also like to see more extracurriculars that prepare students for future jobs and college.

Best thing about Highland is the level of educations and worst is probably the food. Highland teachers take time to make sure kids are getting the right level of education and that's what I most like.

In my book it is over rated. They do not care about bullying and try to shut you up. They graduate kids w disabilities even though they did not go to school the last 6 months of school. The teachers are not qualified and all the good teachers they make them retire.

Highland is a great school in a small community. The academic scores are consistently high. The quality of education is very good. Highland offers opportunities for a child to grow and learn how to be a good citizen, how to compete ethically, and how to move forward to fulfill their dreams. The teac...
