Highland Park High School Reviews
Rating 4.08 out of 5 188 reviews
Highland Park High School is, by all means, a fine school, if extremely bland; decorations around holidays leave much to be desired, as well as class "events", in previous years to encourage school spirit, we would have class vs class games, one year we even had a dodgeball tournament, but as of recently, this model has mostly been abandoned. The faculty and staff are extremely outgoing and kind, the teachers especially are very good with the students, all of them are simply put, fantastic people. In this way it is a double edged sword; the school isn't particularly eventful, and the announcements are bland, but the people lying within are simply some of the most incredible people I've had the pleasure of meeting and interacting with. Overall, HPISD is a great school with some spirit issues.
At HIghland Park I have always appreciated how willing they are to help, but we are lacking in opportunity.
Highland Park separates itself from other public high schools in it's very competitive nature in all aspects of the school whether it be academics, athletics or fine arts, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better public education.
