My best experience was the friendships I gained from being at highland park, without them I would have never found my dream college or my perfect roommates either. The worst parts was the culture and how little others cared for diversity and individuality in it.

I love Highland Park High because it's more like a family than it is a school. Everyone knows each other, is willing to help each other and the teachers work hard to make sure the students are as ready as they can be for life after high school.

I like how my school has a diversity atmosphere and even though the students go in separate ways, I feel like we connect in some way that makes us stand out as school together.

I love going to highland park high-school it very fun it like a movie but one thing I dislike is the fact teachers tell you what you CAN or CAN'T do in life because of your background. But other than that it very fun there many different clubs you can join if you don't know ask someone which club do...

I don’t like the traucy teacher she’s does too much.

When you recycle administration from one failing school to another, you get the kind of academic outcomes this school and district has. I don't think these folks get it at all.Great kiddos

If one includes the performance of the basketball teams (FIVE state titles) HPHS should rate a 10 !!
