Highlands High is not a place I would recommend to any parent! My son started in Aug as a Freshman & left in June a FRESHMAN! Hated every minute was late a lot & missed many days but never one phone call. He failed everything but ROTC which was not requested & my permission was never sought. There was zero contact. No counselor or teacher made any attempt to find out what was wrong or attempt to fix! Counselors are supposed to assist in Summer School (credit recovery) but I took care of that footwork Summer School was in a different school & he made up all credits. I thought he would be fine but two days before school resumes he expressed a strong desire to not return. I spoke to no one at Highlands to change mg son out, as a matter of fact all I needed was a copy of his transcript for one year & had to have for him to attend another school. I went in & expressed the real need told she left for lunch (230) & it would be awhile. I went back at 400- CLOSED. Next day I called no records given or requests taken by EMAIL ONLY. I did that expressing need & class starting next day. No reply I go there & still never see the person but told she was doing something else & would be at least a week for my request to be addressed. Luckily a Counselor that worked at Highlands & new HS has been there the previous year & was able to access his transcript in 2 minutes. Also, there are maybe 9 people listed with job title including Registrar & Student Liason both listed under Counseling Dept & as of the day one there was not even ONE counselor (2 student liaisons = Counselors meaning 2 at.lesst?? None. Not one. The year before they had one possible full time and one part time that went full time with the other part time school she was a member of the staff with meanwhile the other had left sometimes the previous year! Also one males bathroom but not to worry your son won't be tardy to class for using the bathroom unless he wants to start vaping on any given day! I can't tell you what I disappointment this school is. They care nothing about those kids or what they need in any way! Short staffed? Maybe, but they would rather spend your tex dollars revamping the entire entrance than to pause the pretty update & hire anyone to do anything for the kids that will be adults to actually better themselves & graduate!! I think it should be looked at for reclassification to become another type of Charter School.
