GreatSchools Rating
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.

Highland is a good school and im a 6th grader and if you are trying to join this school, bullying is a MAJOR problem. Some of the students here are racist. Im an Indian and ive experienced a LOT of bullying in this school just because im from india. And the teachers are very good and they are kind to you. The academics is good. There are many sports, clubs, soccer team, music, robotics, and many more fun things.

Wasted 6 months of potential learning. My son had to attend this School when we moved here from GA. in the middle of the school year. It’s sad to see how far behind this School is on what the kids are learning. So happy to be moving on
