Summary

Highland Grove Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 504 students in Highland, California, within the Redlands Unified School District, and it stands out for achieving strong academic results while serving a community where many families face economic challenges.

The school's performance is impressive when compared to nearby schools with similar student populations. For example, in math and science, Highland Grove's proficiency rates are significantly higher than those at Lugonia Elementary and Lankershim Elementary. It also outperforms closer schools like Arroyo Verde Elementary and Judson & Brown Elementary in core subjects. A major strength is its very low chronic absenteeism rate, which is about 10 points better than the district and state averages and far better than many neighboring schools, contributing to its academic success.

Highland Grove shows particular effectiveness in supporting specific groups of students, such as those from low-income households or in special education, ranking in the 80th percentile or higher for these groups statewide. The school has shown strong recovery since the pandemic and achieves these outcomes efficiently. While Cram Elementary, another school in Redlands Unified, has higher test scores, it serves a less economically disadvantaged population, highlighting Highland Grove's notable achievement in its context.
