For the 2014-15 term, Highland got a new principal. He is incredibly driven and strives to make connections with students, supporting them however possible. His enthusiasm is contagious, and he makes it clear he truly cares about students. While there are surely some teachers who are lacking that same enthusiasm, there are some stellar teachers who work endlessly to educate their students. Highland presents a welcoming environment, filled with diversity. I was hesitant to start attending the school last year, having heard about a negative reputation. I was pleasantly surprised. As a sophomore moving into my second semester, I am faced with nothing but future opportunities, encouragement, and guidance as I move forward. Thank you, Highland, for letting me grow as a person.

My child enjoys this school much more than Sandia Base. He loves that he got to pick some of his own classes and gets to learn guitar. He has witnessed fights already that left children bloody. He has also been bullied already but the principal took care of it as soon as it was brought to his attention. So far this year the school had to be locked down only a couple months into the school year because someone had a gun outside the school. Glad to be leaving this state soon.

This school does absolutely nothing to help children that may have learning difficulties.

The overall vibe at Coronado is a positive one! The administration and teachers all work together for the good of the students and you can tell they are happy to be there! The lessons are engaging and the students seem to be happy to be learning.

I like how much trust and freedom the teachers give the students.
