I've had several kids attend Higley High. Overall, it is a good school where I feel my kids received a quality education. Most of the teachers really seem to care about their students. The counseling department needs to be addressed, as there are not enough counselors for the student body, and getting schedules changed in a timely manner is challenging. It would be nice to see more opportunities for HHS families to connect.

Please do not take your child to this school. Bullying occurs, and the teachers are well aware of it and do not do anything about it. The whole school environment is not very diverse and is not welcoming.

This school has an impressive building and looks more like a small high school, but unfortunately, that’s where the positives end for us. If your child isn’t academically excelling or isn’t part of the majority racial group, don’t expect much support.My child was consistently bullied and fat-shamed throughout the year. Despite reporting these incidents, the administration did nothing—likely because my child had previously acted out in class. But acting out should be seen as a red flag that a student needs help, not a reason to ignore serious issues.Teachers made little effort to engage with or support students who weren’t already high performers. It felt like if your child didn’t fit into a narrow mold of success, they were written off.The overall experience was so discouraging that my child began dreading school. No family should have to go through that. If you’re looking for a supportive and inclusive environment, this might not be the right place.
