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.

My experience at Highland Park was not the best. The teachers were racist and faculty didn't really help with that. I reported my teacher numerous times but nothing happened. When it came to learning it was difficult sometimes because the teachers weren't always focused. Overall I would say throughout my 4 years I would rate my experience a 4 out of 10.

The smaller size of the school means more leadership opportunities for students and also a supportive environment. My kids have had...
