5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHighgate went through a tough period of time before 2017 when there was frequent leadership turnover. Three years later, thanks to consistent restorative practice and other relationally based approaches, the school is really beginning to thrive.Other Review5y ago - Missisquoi Valley Uhsd #7

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHorrible. Literal crime runs rampant and unpunished, racism is everywhere even amongst the teaching staff (There's a teacher that says UNHINGED things) . Swastikas are drawn everywhere in the boys bathroom (can't speak about the girl's bathroom though), and I I encountered an ungodly amount of fights. There are some redeeming qualities though, the food is good and I like the areas just outside the school.Anyways, here's a list of CRIMES that went unpunished when I was here:Vandalism (Bathrooms are frequently dirty and graffitied, often with slurs. I once saw a very well-known racial slur spraypainted in one of the bathroom stalls in huge black font)Battery (One time, a student attacked another student during class transition time and god a light punishment for it)Property Damage (I once had something unknowingly hot-glued to my sweatshirt and the suspect only got half a day of in school suspensions. I won't list any names)Theft (There was literally a kid known for stealing yet he was never punished for stealing)Underage Vaping and Substance Use (I can't list down how many times I saw vapes in this school... Sometimes just laying there in the bathroom stalls. Also my brother is a former student there and he has told me about horrible drug problems.)I like the pizza though. I spent my 7th and 8th grade years here before moving elsewhere.Other Review7mo ago
