Three of my girls have attended Highland. It has caring, experienced teachers who work hard to see kids succeed. There are safety nets for identifying struggling readers and getting them the help they need to build skills. PE and Music/Art are daily, which is a plus for whole brain learning. Technology availability is awesome with students having ready access to Internet connected classroom and lab computers. This is a high-poverty school, but in spite of that, the staff at Highland succeed at making it the best possible learning environment.

About the tests


Texas uses Accountability Ratings to indicate the overall performance of each school and district. The ratings are based on TAKS test results, dropout rates for grades 7 and 8 and school completion rates for grades 9 through 12. Schools and districts rated under standard accountability procedures are designated as Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable or Academically Unacceptable. Schools and districts rated under alternative education accountability (AEA) procedures are designated as either AEA: Academically Acceptable or AEA: Academically Unacceptable.
