GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Highland Grove Elementary is an awesome school! Everyone is kind and compassionate. My child loves school, and she feels loved, safe, and is learning by leaps and bounds! She didn’t want to take off for Spring or Summer Break(s). She’s counting the days until she goes to second grade.
