I'm going into my 3rd year at highland prep and I've really loved it. Despite it being so small, highland prep gives the students so many one on one advantages and lots of college and university opportunities. I love it here.

My experience when I first came to Highland Prep was good freshman year but expect to have harder classes in different grades. Overall, the experience isn't bad, the only part is the food during lunch because there have been multiple complaints about stomach problems after eating the food, and the food doesn't look edible.
