Cannot say enough good about this school. Just walk through the halls and see the bright colorful murals and the happy faces of the staff to understand how amazing this school culture is. Just had my first IEP meeting and cried happy tears throughout it instead of sad angry tears. The teachers here...

This school is very clique-y. The teachers have a very toxic “behind the scenes” culture where they bad talk other students and parents and staff. Obviously this is not ALL teachers but a great majority are not truly for the students and helping their experience.

This is our second year at highland park. My child is thriving and really enjoys school. The culture at this school is warm and welcoming. The principal is incredibly friendly and helpful. Staff so far have been professional, informative, and a pleasure to be around when on campus.

We are in our third year at Highland Park and love it! The teachers are incredible and care so much about the kids and their education. The principal is very friendly and truly cares about making the school a great environment for all. I'd highly recommend Highland Park!
