Highline High School Reviews

 
well..I LOVE hhs. its the best high school ever. the campus is great and very well organized. the teachers are fantastic-theyre always there for you wether its school related or not. the students are wonderful-nobody 'bullies' anybody or anything. its like one big happy family =]

Highline H.S. has exceeded our expectations in providing excellent programs and options for our daughter. It has been very supportive of her academic goals.

This school is great. It has the best teachers and I love it! The campus is great and the students are wonderful

What concerns me about this school is that the teachers seem relatively uninterested in student progress. This could be because pay is low, or due to a lack of leadership, as the principal often sets the tone for the level of faculty/parent interaction. With retirement looming, I sense the principal's foot is off the gas pedal, and children are getting less as a result. I've had kids at three different high schools... unfortunately, of the three, this one seems to have the lowest expectations of both teachers and students. C'mon, Highline...you can do better.

Some teachers know what they are talking about and others don't.It really depends on the teacher that you get. Sporting activities at the school are great and very competitive. I didn't always feel safe walking through the halls.

This school does nothing to help the children that need it.

I am not impressed with administration. School lacks instruction in Mathematics; not enough educational materials for each classroom. Disorganization for school enrollment; class scheduling. School does not challenge students who may be ahead in one subject but at grade level in another. Setting the students up to fail from the beginning of the 9th grade for the wasl. When I went to school, there were 6 classes a day, not this every other day or three weeks on, three weeks off garbage. Students don't retain the information unless it's daily. As a teacher myself, I am stunned by the lack of guidance by the school district.

In my opinion I think that Highline High School is a great school for student learning. The quality of academin programs are really progressing. I also think that the availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities are also progressing and alot of students are involving in some of these subjects. I belive that more parents should be involved in what there children are doing.

Highline is a great school to attend. One of its great perks is that it has a close relationship with the community college which allows kids to go to HCC in their junior year of their high school. The second most wonderful thing about the school is that it is one of very few schools who is on a semister schedule, meaning with four period days, you would complete what is normally a full years math class in just 10 weeks. This allows for a fresh start for students every semister and gives students many more credits than a different institution. Look into it, you will like it.

The teachers at Highline High school are wonderful, most of them will go the extra mile to help their students and also to make learning fun. The downside to Highline, is the Principal, who isn't very involved with her students and doesn't really make an effort to get to know them.
