Highlands Intermediate School serves the communities of Pearl City, Seaview-Crestview and Waipio-Gentry, and has a diverse student population. It has eight feeder schools and is the only feeder school to Pearl City High School. With its fairly stable staff, the school offers a broad range of courses, from remedial to those for the gifted and talented. Teachers in core subjects are teamed and share common students to provide a nurturing environment with positive relationships.
The school plans to explore other components of middle level education. Highlands Intermediate has implemented standards-based instruction in all subject areas with a focus on reading, writing, and math. Through its SCBM Council, Highlands Intermediate waived the state promotion policy and requires students to pass all classes for promotion. With strict enforcement of its dress code, the SCBM Council was able to adopt a School Uniform Policy that was implemented in 1998.
Highlands Intermediate School is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges Commission. The School Community Council is fully operational to review the school's Academic and Financial Plan.
