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.

Thus far, my experience with Highland High School has been a pleasant one. I've made many connections with my peers and teachers. I have been given many opportunities to excel and grow as a person during my time here. The teachers are patient, capable people who truly care for their students and community.
