As a high school student in Highland Park, I would like to inform you that the environment is challenging, both academically and socially, as with most high schools this is generally the case. But with this school, it is even more so.

The schools in Highland Park are very good as they receive numerous donations from the wealthy parents that live there, however, this area is very low is diversity I recall my daughter telling me that only 1% of students at HPMS, the middle school, are Asian.
