Public Grades

Summary

Highland View Elementary is a public elementary school in Bristol, Virginia, serving 175 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Bristol City Public Schools district, which is ranked 79 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Highland View Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (72%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 68-77% White. The school also has a higher percentage of African American students (13.71%) than the surrounding area. While the school's 4th-grade math proficiency rate is higher than the district and state averages, its 3rd-grade math proficiency is lower. Highland View's disabled students perform well, ranking in the top 100 Virginia elementary schools, but its White and low-income students lag behind. The school spends $10,474 per student, more than the district average of $9,271, and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.1 compared to nearby schools.

Highland View Elementary's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from 610 out of 1,105 Virginia elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 761 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024. The school faces significant achievement gaps between student subgroups, and its high poverty rate of nearly 100% free and reduced-price lunch recipients likely contributes to its academic challenges. However, the school's unique characteristics and lower student-teacher ratio may provide opportunities for targeted improvement strategies and collaboration with higher-performing Stonewall Jackson Elementary and other nearby schools in the Bristol City Public Schools district.
