As a former student, I guess I did pretty well. I was definitely not in the top 10% (or even top 25%) of my class but required no remediation in college. Now have earned a B.S. in Business from IU, as well as a J.D., and three other Masters. I felt the academics were more difficult than my college studies (except perhaps law school) I must say that the languages offered are fewer, but it is a good school.

As a student, I feel that this school is great and all, but defintely needs some work. I don't see much family engagment, but that I feel is optional. Safety is fine, since they do have adequate security, but I do think that some, items need fixing. For example, the bike rack that not many people use is not attached to the ground. I think there are security cameras watching it, but that won't stop someone from stealing my fellow student's bikes. The curriculum experience depends on course selection, but based on my current experience and classes, the learning needs to motivate the kids into paying attention so that they can actually achieve something from the material. I have friends who have 3+ missing assignments just because they are bored in class and just want to mope through school.

Highland Park is MCCSC's best kept secret. The teachers and staff are so caring and do a lot to keep families involved. They offer a ton of extracurriculars like robotics club, drama club, gardening club, and even have a nature preserve on school grounds! My kids have had a great experience and are excited to go to school.
