This school is a hateful filled school by students! For context my son is bisexual and MY KID CAME CRYING TO HOME, because he was called many insults and the student called him and he quote "a mental illness" and many other things. The school is very homophobic from their students. They also advertise there school as a "bully free zone" even though they have many bullying problems!The learning is nothing special then a regular public school. It's not that good nor bad. And the students arn't that excited about learning.(except the classes they wanted)Family Engagement is average for a school.

My daughter has really enjoyed her experience at Highland Lakes. After considering many schools (charter and private) we are happy we with the school we were zoned for.

Within a matter of months, our experience with PHUHS and its IB Program has been deeply disappointing and concerning. Our daughter entered the program as a motivated student and a member of the Junior Honor Society, yet during this short period her academic confidence and GPA were significantly impacted, with little meaningful intervention or support provided.As parents, we made multiple attempts to communicate our concerns to both administration and instructional staff, seeking guidance and solutions as our daughter began to struggle. Unfortunately, many of these emails and voicemail messages went unanswered, and responses, when received, came only after the situation had already escalated beyond repair.While we fully acknowledge that students must take responsibility for their academic performance, the transition into a rigorous high school program—particularly one as demanding as IB—requires timely guidance, support, and active involvement from administrators and counselors when challenges arise. Regrettably, this level of support was not evident in our experience.The program promotes a commitment to student success, yet we have observed multiple students being released from the IB Program due to declining grades, which raises concerns about the adequacy of the support systems in place to help struggling students succeed. As parents, it has been disheartening to witness the emotional and academic toll this experience has taken on our daughter, who entered the program with strong aspirations and motivation.
