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 really do believe highland is an excellent choice for those who want a better education with STEM and community involvement. I believe they really do prepare you for colleges By providing resources such as ECAP preparation from first to last year of highschool This school definitely isn't the greatest in sports department but our robotics sports definitely take the lead .

Highland prep is a wonderful school,It is a collegeprep school which helps with college readiness. Also being a stem school is helpful to those who are interested in learning about stem.The school definitely needs more stricter curriculum and guidelines.Nevertheless the community is wonderful and super helpful.
