The High School has been recently renovated so the hallway congestion is much better. It is easy to make it to class if your classes are at opposite ends of the building. Students do not use hallway lockers, everyone carries backpacks. Transferring classes is easy if you follow the procedures.
Classroom size is good and overall teachers are high quality and care about their students success. You need to have specific questions to attend tutorials, so that could be better.
Parking around the school is tight, there is only one main parking garage and it is mainly for seniors. Security is great and the sucurity guards are friendly.
The school trys to promote an all-inclusive atmosphere. There are tons of clubs so everyone at the school can find something to join and be part of a group.
AP classes are very challenging.
Cafeteria food is okay. They have tons of options and the lines are not bad. I brought my lunch because I didn't care for the food they provided.

I feel very lucky to have attended Highland Park ISD for almost all of my school years (I moved to HP in 2nd grade). Although the academics are rigorous, students will graduate from Highland Park prepared for the expectations they will face in college. The social life at HP also plays a huge part in the student's lives, but there are countless extracurricular activities offered to ensure each student can find their place. I wouldn't trade my time there for the world!
Such a great school district. There’s no such thing as perfect, but overall my kids have had great experiences. They have excelled academically, been able to be a part athletics at a high level, found clubs that interest them and have made lasting friendships. The parents are very involved, the teachers are invested in the students learning and the environment promotes academic success. The only downsides are; it’s a large school so it’s hard to stand out in any area because there are so many kids who are super stars and kids who do not have a ‘thing’ (play a sport, active in a club or have some sort of niche) may have a hard time finding their place. That may be universal but it can be tough here.
