The school is very small, so the community environment is nice. The in-person teachers are all qualified, but most advanced classes are online. The students are all nice as well, but there are no clubs.

I transfered to Highlands High School in the fall starting of my senior year. This school has provided a good background and an awesome thing to place on my resume.

Throughout my entire K-12 experience at Highlands School, I do not have any complaints about the teachers. Of course, none of them are perfect, but overall the quality of the teachers is outstanding. The passion and care the teachers possess is inspiring. The teachers at Highlands were one of my favorite aspects of the school.
