Highland High School

Highland has exceptional leadership with academics as well as athletics. The teachers go above and beyond and strive to bring the best out of each student. I graduated from Highland and after going to NUMEROUS different schools, I believe I received the most one on one attention at Highland than any other school. In addition, I believe that the academic program at Highland is more challanging than those provided inn larger schools. I have a child with a slight learning disability and the teachers and principal went above and beyond to help him succeed and that speaks for itself! Go Scots!!!!

My rating "Very POOR". If you are new parent thinking of moving your child here,Do Not. If you grew up here & went to school at Highland & is related to Athletic Director then, Do So. Your child will not suceed here on Athletics much less Academics. They will hold your child back to let one of their favorite personal picks play. No matter how good your child is he/she will not get the chance or opportunity to display their skills over Johnny Jr/Sally. Cause Johnny Jr/Sally's Dad, Mom, Uncle, Grandpa & Godparent either works, Coaches or is alumni at Highland District Schools. They don't care how hard your child works at anything including having any goals here. Teachers are the grouchiest teachers who are only there to get their paychecks. Your Childs learning is not at the top of their to do list. There is no support system here at Highland Sparta! Don't Waste Your Hard Earned Tax Paying Dollars Here!!!

Obviously, the "Great Schools Rating" is a joke! They know absolultely nothing about our school or know how to figure the schools scores. Highland High School was rated EXCELLENT for the past two years (2008 & 2009! I think this website is absolulely ridiculous and hope people looking at this website would do more than look here for information on this school. Highland teachers and administators work great with students and families in the community.

I'm very disappointed with highland high school. they are always talking about how they want to help your students but when you try to actually get help for them it is next to impossible to get them to follow thru.

It's ok. The school is small enough that everyone knows everyone's business. Teachers aren't all they're made out to be. The classes are relatively easy.
