Highland Springs High School stands out as the largest school with 1,990 students and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.8%. However, it also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% and mixed test scores, performing above the district and state averages in some subjects but below in others.

The elementary schools, Highland Springs Elementary and Fair Oaks Elementary, struggle to meet the district and state averages in Mathematics and English Reading. All the schools in Highland Springs face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.76% to 92.55% for the elementary schools and 91.06% for Highland Springs High. These disparities in performance and resources across the schools in Highland Springs highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the complex challenges facing the community.
