“I went to Highland all three years & I absolutely loved it there ! The looping was great & I wish that other schools had it. It really does let you bond with your teachers & see them as more than teacher. I know this first hand when me & my teacher would joke around & have fun. A lot of the teachers try to make it fun. They try to take you on as many field trips as you can & when you get to be in eighth grade you actually get to go out of Louisville and Kentucky ! It was a lot of fun there at Highland & you are always accepted there. I really am going to miss it there.”

“I went to Highland all 3 years for middle school, and I absolutely loved it. The looping program was a great opportunity to get to know your students and classmates on a personal level, while the classes such as art, p.e., health, etc. where a great chance to make friends with students from other teams. There was a lot of parental involvement and the leadership at this school was very good about making sure to listen to students. At Highland it was easy to feel safe and be around a diversity of people. I would highly recommend this school to parents/guardians.”

“I absolutely love Highland I have been there for 6th-7th grade. The teachers are wonderful! Their looping program is a great opurtunity for students to builod a special bond with their teachers as I have done with mine. The staff and administartion really cares they are their to listen to any personal problems going on at home, school, etc. This would be something very hard for a student to say about their school but I am! Your child would very easily make friends with the hundreds of friendly students to meet! Parents:send your child to this school!”

“I have had 3 children in Highland and have been very happy. Each one of my children are very different.One is an IT/technical student. Another is studious and on the dance team and the youngest hardly sits still and loves sports. Each one of them really found their niche at HMS. The staff works so hard for the students and school. Every school has their problems. It is whether the staff is proactive and how they react that matters. HMS staff does both well!”

“I have 2 children at Highland right now--a sixth grader and an eighth grader. We live across town from Highland, but we chose it instead of the schools close to our home because of the discipline and the academic programs that Highland provides. Both of our kids are in the Advance Program, so their classes are very challenging. But I think the teachers do a good job of telling them in advance what's going to be expected for their classwork. And every Monday, my sixth-grader's team of teachers sends us a list showing her homework assignments for the week. We're really impressed with the variety of classes and activites available at Highland. Both of my kids have French this year, my son has been able to travel with the school band and perform with the Jazz Band, and my daughter is going to play on the school's soccer team in the Spring.”
