Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Airing in 2000 on what was then Fox Family, Higher Ground broke the conventions of a high school drama focusing on just the most troubled kids by giving them their own school. Mount Horizon is a rehabilitation school in the Pacific Northwest where troubled teens who have been abused, involved in drugs, prostitution, or gangs learn to grow in a safe environment. The series focuses on a group of students called the Cliffhangers, each with their own story and troubles.Originally a Joe Lando vehicle, the series may be more well known for some of the actors who played the Cliffhangers: Hayden Christensen pre-Anakin; Jewel Staite pre-Kaylee; Kyle Downes pre-Tudgeman; A.J. Cook pre-JJ; and Kandyse McClure pre-Dualla.No relation to the song with the same name by Red Hot Chili Peppers Stevie Wonder, or the 2011 film.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Awful Truth | |
| Higher Ground / int_363f94c9 | comment |
Awful Truth: Shelby's mother at first denies her stepfather had molested her and Jess, but later admits it's true, but she simply didn't want to know that it was happening. Scott's dad later says much the same thing when stating he now believes him that his stepmother raped Scott. | |

Amazing Freaking Grace: The sheet music was part of Daisy's solo trek package; Jewel Staite sings it at the end of the ep. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Higher Ground / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Many of the characters had these. Juliette's mother constantly pushed for her to look perfect, so much she developed bulimia and cut herself. Daisy's mother was verbally abusive to her. Scott's stepmother raped him. Shelby's stepfather raped both her and her younger sister. | |
