Highland Academy

Highland Academy sits in Beaumont, a fast-growing Inland Empire community nestled between the San Bernardino Mountains and the Pass Area foothills, where newer subdivisions continue to attract families looking for more space than coastal Southern California can offer. As a K-8 charter school, it gives families a longer runway with their kids in one place, and its English scores show some genuine strength even as math remains an area to watch. Families drawn to the charter model and the close-knit feel of a smaller school community may find it a comfortable fit, particularly if they're planning to supplement at home or through tutoring in the math department.
