My time at Highlands High School was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. I cannot fathom how this institution continues to function as an educational establishment, given the deplorable conditions and lackluster approach to academics and student well-being.First and foremost, the facilities at Highlands High School are utterly appalling. The classrooms are dilapidated and poorly maintained, with leaking roofs and faulty heating systems. The school's so-called "technology" is ancient, often malfunctioning, and severely limited in its capabilities. It's as if the administration couldn't care less about creating a conducive learning environment for its students.The teaching staff is equally disappointing. Many of the teachers lack passion, dedication, and, most importantly, the ability to effectively impart knowledge to their students. Instead of inspiring minds, they seem to be going through the motions, ticking boxes without any regard for the actual education of their pupils. Grading is inconsistent, and constructive feedback is practically non-existent.Furthermore, the extracurricular activities and sports programs are laughable. The school barely offers any options for students to explore their interests and talents outside the classroom. The few clubs that do exist are poorly organized, poorly attended, and seem like mere tokens to maintain the illusion of a well-rounded education.What's worse is the evident lack of support for students facing academic or personal challenges. The guidance counselors are unresponsive and fail to provide adequate guidance in navigating the tumultuous teenage years. It's distressing to see students who need help the most being brushed aside or ignored altogether.One of the most significant problems with Highlands High School is its alarming lack of attention to bullying and overall student safety. Instances of bullying are rampant and go largely unchecked by the staff. This toxic environment hampers the learning experience and negatively impacts the mental and emotional well-being of vulnerable students.Moreover, the administration's communication with parents is abysmal. They seem to operate in a secretive bubble, leaving parents clueless about important school matters and events. It's a disservice to both students and parents, who deserve to be actively involved in their child's educational journey.I would go on but This review system is limiting me to a certain number of characters.

My child just promoted last year and had an absolutely incredible experience at Sierra View Elementary School. The teachers are incredible and so helpful in enriching my daughter's education. The principal who came a few years ago is absolutely amazing. Great problem solving skills, very personable, creative, and full of school spirit. When they did the parade during COVID, my daughter was absolutely ecstatic to see the principal and all her teachers! The office staff is so helpful, I needed some help with my registration and they were so kind and patient with me. This last year she had Mrs. Ripley and she was so supported in her academics, would highly recommend. She's a tech queen, my daughter was really engaged in her schoolwork more than ever and this is all thanks to her. There was talk of shutting Sierra View down recently, and I really really hope that doesn't happen so more kids can have a great experience!

This school for me has too much drama . Most of the people there all They do is talk about people . They don't even hear what the teacher is doing . I am very disappointed . Don't enroll you child here!! Try your best . I think it maybe Because of the neighborhood . But other than that the campus is pretty . Um the staff and teachers are amazing :)
