I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Highland School, however, I think it is clear the school is lacking some diversity, but they seem to have made significant strides recently to diversify campus. I believe the academics are very good compared to most schools in the area, and the majority of teachers are very good at what they do.

Absolutely fantastic school. The staff absolutely care about the success of their students, and they are extremely welcoming and kind. The building itself is very well maintained as well, and the athletics are outstanding. It is definitely a place where a student should study to be prepared for the real world and the obstacles that may come with it.
