School Overview

Highland Elementary sits in Gresham's older east metro neighborhoods, where the community is working-class and tight-knit but the academic numbers run well below state averages. Families who choose Highland are often drawn by proximity and familiarity rather than test scores, and the school serves a diverse mix of students that reflects Gresham's broader character as one of the more affordable corners of the Portland metro area. For families prioritizing academics, it's worth exploring other options in the Gresham-Barlow district, but those already rooted in the area will find a school that's part of a genuine neighborhood fabric.
