The data also reveals that the district serves a relatively low-income population, with high free and reduced lunch rates, especially at Highwood High School (64%). Additionally, the small student enrollments, particularly at the high school and middle school levels, could be a challenge in terms of offering a diverse range of educational opportunities and extracurricular activities. Overall, the data suggests that Highwood Middle School is the standout performer in the Highwood K-12 district, while the high school and the district as a whole have room for improvement.
