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 like that in Highland High School everyone knows everyone because its a small school and there is many activities, clubs, and sports through out the year that all can join and make new friends. However, something they can maybe take in mind to change is the rules for behavior and not give so many chance to those who keep doing bad things or inappropriate .

What I liked about Highland High School is that the school is small with 900 students and the grade classes are small so you get to know everyone. What I would want for the school to change is have more commitment from the students and teachers.
