Highland Home High School

Very poor. This school is highly alumni oriented. It pays to have a friendship with the fellow graduates that now make up the teaching and other staff positions at this school. In my opinion the more money and time certain parents donate to this school the better special attention and help is available to their particular children.

going to the school the Teachers is excellent they help the students with they work. One my nieces in middle School and one in of my nieces in Sr. High and my nephew is in Sr. High too school they love there friends and teachers HHS

In regard to classes (when I attended) high school students were given the choice of signing up for the Advanced Preparatory classes or the "regular" classes. As a student I knew I could not carry on with the AP Math and Science classes but I also knew that I could carry the weight of the English and History classes. I asked if there was any way that I could split my day to be able to do half AP and half non, and was told that "No, that just can't happen. It's either all or nothing." I was pretty surprised and was told that "There's not enough teachers to accommodate THAT kind of schedule." Again, the staffing situation may have changed (it has been almost 10 years now) but for those who are looking at the "big picture" this school may not be able to accommodate your student's academic needs. Also of note, the community, from the school students and the instructors and the administrative staff up to the county level, (as noted by another reviewer) is largely familiar with each other from childhood due to the fact that community is, by and large related to each other, by blood and or marriage. This may pose some discomfort for those who are transferring from other schools.
