Highlands has been great for my child who will be graduating this year. He has great friends and teachers.

I went to this school for 4 years and they were the worst 4 years of my educational experience! The school lacks windows and is built with a bunch of grey cement walls that gives a detention facility vibe. There is a lot of bullying because students are not happy. The education was quite boring with 0 field trips or engagement other than lectures and tests. The school air conditioning is always on, even in the winter and when someone becomes sick, the whole school gets sick because of their poor ventilation system. A lot of favoritism towards students who score high on tests and classes, with minimal support for those who clearly need it. Unhealthy school lunches and food offered to students. I would not recommend this school to anybody who loves their children.

My son had a nightmare experience at this school. Throughout 6th grader he was bullied. I was in consistent contact with the principal to try to help remedy the situation. I really did not want to move my son to a new school. After 6 months of no resolution, I had to take my child out of this school due to lack of action from the administration. I could get into the details of what my son endured, but there aren't enough characters available. It was a nightmare. The school staff and administration is a joke.
