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.

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.

When I attended Highland High School (Graduated 2016), the school was striving to move forward with technology to keep students engaged and up to date with how technology is being used in the workforce. However, many teachers were immature and seemed as if they became teachers in order to live out their days in the high school setting. I believe I got an average quality of education.
