Highland Grove Elementary

Tucked into the foothills community of Highland, just east of San Bernardino, Highland Grove Elementary sits in a area where the Inland Empire's suburban sprawl gives way to a quieter, more residential pace of life. As part of Redlands Unified — a district known for holding its schools to a higher standard than many of its neighbors — Highland Grove consistently performs well above average across English, math, and science, making it a solid choice for families who want strong academics without the pressure of a hyper-competitive environment. It's the kind of school that appeals to families putting down roots in the area, drawn by the relative affordability of Highland and the sense that their kids will be genuinely well-prepared heading into middle school.
