So the curriculum at this school is a hot mess ! Especially the science classes . Students that take regular standard science classes not honors not AP get similar curriculum . All the students are failing . Test are being failed . Students give up because they know they wont pass the test .Assignments are every where nothing aligns . Students survive in test retakes . So many students are struggling . I don’t see how the administration can’t see its right in their face they aren’t learning it’s to intense . Curriculum is way over the top . That’s why these students are not taking honors or AP courses . Not sure what GPS is trying to achieve . If I was starting my student in high school . I would look at other districts . Families I know that attend chandler school district are shocked when they see GPS - Highland HS assignments and mass emails for students failing !! Believe this is why many are attending to charters schools . Sports is also in the decline at Highland . More kids won’t be able to participate due to college or above curriculum. Run from this school . The Math department also struggles no one teaches . Don’t worry GPS just wants more students to take online classes to retake classes they failed. It is more money for them . Then they have Canyon HS to send your child to. So many parents at other districts do not receive mass emails for so many students ta failing to go to another school during fall break to bring grades up . Why not look at why all these students are failing !! How can you have over 5 plus student a all failing. Enter classes failing or class average on test barely a c or lower !! Don’t be blind sided by GPS and it’s Highland HS . It basically online teach your self . Assuming Highland HS graduation rate is actually lower than what they show . They send the students to Canyon HS .

I attended this school from kindergarten through 6th grade, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. From my very first day, the teachers and staff made me feel welcome, supported, and excited to learn.One of the things I loved most about this school was the sense of community. The teachers truly cared about their students and went above and beyond to help everyone succeed. They made learning fun, encouraged us to try new things, and helped us build confidence both inside and outside the classroom.I am incredibly grateful for the education, support, and encouragement I received during my seven years here. This school helped shape who I am today, and I will always remember my time here with appreciation and fondness.

One of the better schools I’ve been too but like a lot of the staff is really scary and sometimes I just really wanna die during the school day because of all the kids but yk. <3333. also I can’t rlly say anything abt the disabilities but I’ve seen the ones who do need help get help so yeah.
