The only way to have a decent high school experience here is to fit in with the highland clique. I have taken college level courses here where teachers spend the majority of the period gossiping and making plans for the weekend with their favorite students. If teachers and staff like you, your grades will reflect it and you will not get in trouble. Teachers that get the same complaints everyday will not get in trouble. Everyday I would sit in class and watch teachers pick apart the same students. If you want a complete high school education you will need motivate yourself to spend time out of class teaching yourself. I dropped my study halls to take classes that sounded interesting and the classes ended up being just like a study hall. There are a couple of amazing teachers at highland that I’m happy I had. I played a lot of sports while I was in high school and I had one good coach that left after one season because the drama in highland’s staff was too much. The difference between the way the girls and guys sports teams are treated is amazing. Almost every away game the school forgot to get us a bus. One time they made three different sports teams sit in one bus to their away games. Many students were sitting on each other’s laps or in the middle of the bus isle. I’m sure many students still have videos of it. When I went to high school there were a lot of fights and kids literally did drugs in class. Multiple times throughout high school guidance counselors would tell me that they were unable to move me into the classes I wanted so I would have to ask around about classes to figure out a schedule that works and then walk the guidance counselor’s through the process of changing my schedule. One year everyone’s schedule got messed up so bad the guidance office shut down for a week because so many students were coming. If you’re able to fit in and teach yourself, you could have a decent experience here.
