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.

As a student at HPHS, the school is over all very welcoming, supportive, proud, and makes me feel safe and at ease whenever I'm with my friend or just inside the building in general.

My name is Pedro and I'm from Brazil. I was afraid when I come here, I leave all my family, all my friends to live here with my dad and get best opportunity. Highland Park' staffs were so kind with me and they gave to me the best of them.

Highland park is a very welcoming community. They embrace everyone are willing to work with you on everything. The school is huge and a little hard to navigate at times but Classroom sizes are excellent. The teachers all seem like they actually wanna be there and enjoy their jobs.

We have had three children graduate from HPHS and they have each become successful in their chosen career paths and made lifelong friends here....
