- **4/5** — Good, but some areas for improvement: We had a good experience with Highover, but there were some areas where we felt the school could improve. The staff were generally supportive, but communication with parents could be better at times. The facilities were excellent, but we felt that some of the extracurricular activities could be more varied. Overall, a solid school, but not outstanding. *(Jul 2021)*
