The school itself and the resources are excellent the biggest problems are that the students and teachers have this attitude of being above everyone that comes from outside their community. The students are also a bit delusional as they don't understand how privileged they are to be in such a beautiful school that offers them so many resources to thrive.

It was an okay experience for me. But my sophomore year was like a world of chaos. I waa bullied by juniors in my algebra 2 class and girls were inapropriately touching me, stalking me and making me uncomfortable. There was also this guy who asked me out when he already had a girlfriend. When i refused he called me a disease spreading person of color. One day he went as so far as to lock me in our algebra 2 classroom. I had to scream and bang on the door, and a coach saved me. The administration should keep an eye on certain kids. I was scared to tell anyone because i was a person of color

Highland Park separates itself from other public high schools in it's very competitive nature in all aspects of the school whether it be academics, athletics or fine arts, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better public education.

You are stupid if you have the opportunity to go to Highland Park and you either do not take it, or take it for granted. Choosing a high school is a black-and-white decision. Highland Park has the best test scores, graduation rates, and matriculation names in Dallas, and completely for free. If you...

It was a very safe and nice school. Great teachers that care and encourage students to achieve. Like all school students had issues with other students at times but no gang like stuff. Great school overall!!

I strongly wish I had gone to a school that valued curiosity, inquiry, and humanity. Highland park is just a factory churning out more white privileged people from their white privileged parents.
