Highland Park High School Reviews

Some bomb threats caused this school to amp up its security measures, which included security checkpoints for everyone entering the school from all doors. There is thorough communication to parents and students reminding us of processes/actions in case of emergency, such as threatening weather. We all know what the kids, teachers and parents are expected to do.
Review Highland Park High School
A very rigorous school but it certainly prepares you for college. The teachers are generally very good and the athletics are superb. Overall, this is a wonderful school that provides an excellent education.
There is something for everyone at this school - from athletics, to band/choir, to academic clubs to special interest clubs. Students are even encouraged to start their own clubs if they and a few like-minded friends have a particular interest that's not currently served.
