Honestly for the two years I've been here it's not as bad as I thought. It has a bad reputation but the actual education is good quality. Sometimes you get stuck with poor teachers, but the good ones makeup for it. I will say, in terms of safety it's not the best school for that. Lots of fights.

Highland high school is a great school but it's not the best. We lack resources that other schools do, and etc. Overall my time at highland has been in the middle I think we just need more things to do in are classes not a lot of hands on activities.

Overall I think Palmdale has amazing resources to prepare them for college or to prepare them for there futures after highschool but I believe this school needs to care about the safety and well being of the students so they are lacking this unfortunately.

This school does not care about their students. A student close to me (a freshman) reported that she was being bullied and threatened with physical bodily harm, and all the officials told her was that, if she did get jumped and she decided to defend herself, both parties would be suspended. THEY DID...

I have 2 sons that went to this school mainly for football. Every thing the children want to participate in cost hundreds of dollars. They had teachers that didn't seem to want to help the children learn. The football coach Williams talked really bad about the boys on the team to scouts that wanted...
