The best part was definitely the students. They were all welcoming and helpful. I was never treated badly just because of my different ethnic background. The worst part would be the lack of different classes, and the school's rank.

I have been going to Houghton Lake Community Schools my whole school career. It isn't that big of a school, and most of us have been together since kindergarten. I have learned a lot from Houghton Lake High School. I have learned a lot of academic things, and I have learned a lot about people too. Overall, I think I have had a good ride at Houghton Lake High School. I never really had any problems, and I was able to do pretty well in school. This school has seen my little quiet, awkward freshman self turn into college ready (still kind of awkward) senior grow. I am thankful for this school.

I graduated from Houghton Lake High School in 2017. It felt like a 2nd home to me. All of the teachers were very willing to work with you on anything you needed assistance with. It's the perfect small town school!!

Procedures that are designed by parents and the county, are not followed through with once it enters the school system. Very little...

I am a Freshman and here's my 100% honest opinion. The teacher's try their hardest to teach us and there are many bullies but just ignore them and stay away from them. When I first came here I expected my teachers to be the meanest of the mean but over these past years they're the nices people ever...

This school, should not even be called a "School!" I am a parent of an 11th grader whom went to this school. I was transferring her out of H.L.H for many reasons, and get this; " It took 2 weeks to receive unofficial transcripts!" Supposedly ONLY 1 person is authorized to release, yet that 1 person...
