Highlands Intermediate School

I am a current student at this school. :) I transfered for the first time in my life to become a 7th grader. In other words I came from Elementary to Intermediate. I was nervous at first but they proved that middle school isn't as bad as people say it is.The teachers are nice and they are concerned when someone ever gets bullied. But that barley ever happens. There are many electives to choose from and many after school clubs like robotics. The school structure may be old but it is still in good shape.

It's an awesome school to be in. I'm a student at this school and my teachers are very nice to me and they give me help when I need it. Highlands Intermediate school also has a variety of after school activities and clubs. I'm currently in the Jr. LEO club and I am the homeroom representative in my homeroom. There is plenty of electives to choose from for 8th and 7th grade. This school also has things that are fun for those who do good in school like going to bowling and ice skating field trips. Did I mention the Highlands Got Talent at this school? The winner gets to be in Brown Bags to Stardom. I love this school very much and hope that many others will too!

Its a great school. I am currently a student in HIS. Thererlots of activities and clubs: Math team, Sciene club, Robotics club, National Honors Society, Student government, etc. Being in these clubs, you can have chances to go on field trips for competition and tournaments. You can have a chance to participate in the Science Fair and National History day. The teachers are nice, they wont scold you for nothing; they are really kind. They have great electives: Band, Art, Cooking. They recently added Japanese a their language course so you can earn highschool credit when your in middle school. It has a big campus too! There is library, bandrooms, portables, etc. Youll have fun being in this school in your 7th and 8th grade years. It is a highly recommended school.

This school has an excellent education program in which students are split into teams so they have a sense of bonding. Teachers also help to make the school a safe learning environment by stopping all disruption that may arise from any high school student. Also, Highlands excels in doing well at competition that are held around the nation. I have enjoyed my time at Highlands and i would recommend the school to everyone I know.

Teachers are great. Commetted to the students. Great enrichment programs, after school activites, Lego and FIRST robotics teams, and great staff. School infrastructure needs some renovation, but that is a DOE budget problem not the school. Teachers and staff are willing to help out to stretch the school budget. Active encouragement of Parent involvment. There is a small number of kids with behavior problems, but there is no problem keeping good kids away from it. Ohh! Band is great!! My son who was forced to take it (by his good for nothing parents :-) ) now loves the Alto Sax.

LIttle concern from teachers and staff for safety, academics, and ethics. I would not send my children back to this school. When I withdrew them to another school - there was no hesitation whatsover - it was a common occurrence, forms were preprinted and ready just for the asking. That alone should say something.

HIS is a great school. My son just came from a DoDEA school on Guam and I was very concerned about him fitting in with the locals and bullying issues. However, he hasn't had any problems and has many friends of various ethnicities there. The teachers are wonderful and stay on top of the students daily with the use of an agenda that is stamped by the teacher. It is very helpful in collaborating. Being both a former teacher and a parent, this school gets an A+

I am a former student HIS and currently attend PCHS. I am appalled by the first review written by a parent of a transfer student. The two years I have been at HIS, I had no problem with the curriculum whatsoever. I was in Honors English and Math both years. My 8th grade year they made a 'Honors' science class even though it wasn't a different course. We just went through the material at a slightly faster pace. However, the teachers were teaching the right curriculum. Algebra was the 8th grade Honors math. So, 11th grade math would most likely be trigonometry. How in the world would a teacher teach an 8th grader trig when they don't even know geometry? That is ridiculous and I believe this parent was going out of their minds when typing their review. This is a great school!
