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 very much enjoyed my time in high school and will miss the experiences that I had. I felt welcomed and encouraged to learn new things. I'd have to say my favorite part was sports and my physical science classes. I overall enjoyed high school very much but I'm also very excited for the next step, being college.

I have loved attending Highland High school for the past 7 years of my education. The staff has been great and Highland has always done it best to give me opportunities.

It's a very contradictory school. Half of the teachers really care and are great about helping me out while the other half of the teachers don't take the time to actually help or teach me. It's not that bad of a school but the administration is notorious for picking and choosing favorites, such as the best athletes. I would like the favoritism of "good" athletes to change.

The best school in the county. The teachers won't leave anyone behind if they are willing to put in the time to get help.
