Highlands Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Highlands Elementary School is a public school in Highlands, New Jersey, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of students. The school is part of the Henry Hudson Regional School District.

Highlands Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in 5th grade. The school outperforms both the district and the state of New Jersey in 5th grade English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency rates. However, the school's performance in 3rd and 4th grades is relatively weaker, suggesting a need to focus on improving early-grade academic outcomes. Without information on the school's free and reduced lunch rates, it's difficult to assess the socioeconomic diversity and potential equity challenges at the school.

While Highlands Elementary School appears to have academic strengths, further analysis is needed to fully understand its performance, equity considerations, and how it compares to nearby schools. Additional data on the student-teacher ratio and the performance of other schools in the Henry Hudson Regional School District would provide a more comprehensive picture of the school's strengths and areas for improvement.
